Under the Tropic of Cancer 3 poems
Bishnupada Ray
In 597 AD, the first
Benedictine monasteries were constructed in England. They were centres of learning where
travellers could stay indefinitely. My
guidebook mentioned one in Leicestershire.
Through yellow-leafed woods, that rose from an orange-brown, autumnal
floor, I saw the keep of Ulverscroft Priory above the treetops. A track took me to within eyesight of what
remained of the priory. The timber fence
surrounding the priory was covered by signs warning “trespassers” of
prosecution – and that “you can be seen from the house!”
A
little imagination, some visualisation is all I ask.
The Shed’s open front – overlooking a
playing field and a presently deserted school building beyond – let a fine
spray blow in. Through this mist and rain, the patchy powder-blue and
light-grey sky, the lush-green grass and the bright-yellow buildings looked
like a soft-focus photo in brilliant colour.
Looking inside:-
Cool air and soft light gave an elated
sense of freedom. Yet, the Shed’s atmosphere was testimony that walls do not a
prison make. From this open gaol there was no escape. For this itself was an
escape – from dry lecture-rooms and the drier lectures within.
Two Seniors; a semester’s college life-left
in them; sat there getting wetter by the minute. They had a very symbiotic
relationship. One had cigarettes and pen; another, matches and the day’s
newspaper with some sections yet unmolested. And their grey matter was of much
the same kind – able to work on almost everything save studies and other
organized brain-washes.
Cupping cigarettes to avoid getting
them wet, they read the comics and solved the word-jumble. Sports pages were
read and the scores and players cussed and discussed. The crossword was
attacked; each clue’s solution hotly argued. New cigarettes lit, the long-drawn
and discursive arguments sometimes became silly. The crossword, thus, took
time. And the front-page never mattered.
All the while, inside the out-of-focus
buildings, unreceptive hordes listened to droning lectures on various
incomprehensibles – Cobweb Graphs, Deemed Incomes, Discounted Cash Flows, Going
Concern Concepts, Historical Cost Conventions, ISLM Curves, Spliced Indices . . .
Traffic to and from the buildings,
intermittent earlier, increased as time progressed – taking more people up to
join the hordes and bringing some escapees. Some just passed by, others shouted
sundry greetings the couple’s way – who now and then responded. Some came up –
to assist the crossword, further the arguments, cadge a drag or borrow a
cigarette. These last were most usually refused or told to perform sundry
possible and impossible acts – none of which were attempted.
News, gossip and other desultory talk
flourished and sputtered. This steady pair had broken off. That fat chap caught
smoking gave such a smart retort. This bum had wedged himself a place on the
team to Delhi. Let’s throw that guy out of the Union – he’s an irritating
interferer. And the manoeuvering needed with the faculty for that committee
post. The Long-Haired Girl was looking way-out yesterday. And so on . . .
Mountain Retreat
Two hearts beat in syncretised time;
Two centimetres closer by the second.
Emotions run their rampage
In the world of thoughts.

Monsoon
had settled in, the rain bringing with it a lot of distress that year. The gutter
nearby was overflowing with stinking murky water. The area was flooded and
dirty, diseases spreading and people dropping like flies. There were frequent
visits from NGOs and relief centres. But the scene was going from bad towards worse.
Medicines didn’t suffice and food was scanty. Jani’s mother too, was down with high
fever, some kind of deadly flu, the doctors said. She had become pale and thin.
The free medicines had failed to work and the poor girl didn’t know what to do.
A night after the relief camp had withdrawn her mother’s condition worsened.
She kept throwing up the whole night, her feet cold and body shivering. Jani
was scared to sleep with her. So, she slept on the floor with the doll by her
side and lulled herself to sleep. Her mother died that night; Jani was left all
alone.
The coming days were tough for Jani to cope up. Initially, the neighbours would
pity her and offer food from their small share. But as the days passed, the
warmth in their voice lessened. The shortage of and greed for a full time meal
and all the bitterness of their miseries had hardened their hearts. The rain
had got heavy and the roof leakier than before, and finally one ill-starred
night, it crashed. Poor Jani had no shelter now. Though she had survived the
accident, she knew that there was more discomfort coming her way. She hugged
her doll tightly to her bosom and cried the whole night, fighting the rain and cursing
her fate, wishing she were dead, and at the crack of the dawn, she made up her
mind to leave the slum forever, oblivious of the future.
So, she bundled her belongings up in the soiled bed-sheet. There wasn’t much to
carry. Just few old clothes, a stale piece of cooked meat, which one of her
neighbours had once offered, a packet of white chalk which her mother had given
long back, and her favourite, the cloth doll. As she walked past the small
alley, Jani remembered the good old days with her mother and her friends. She approached
the turning where her mother used to set her canopy up. The rain had swept away
the temporary set-up, leaving only a pool of mud instead. The oilcloth that her
mother had once used to save the puny shop from rains was half buried in mud,
and a stray dog sat there, happily munching on a bone. She envied the dog with
all heart. She tried to chase it away, suddenly feeling immensely possessive
about the thing that once belonged to her mother. But the animal was reluctant.
It gave a huge carefree yawn and reverted back to its chewing. She tried a few
more times, but failed. Jani was frustrated, her heart heavy with the failure
to retrieve her mother’s oilcloth. Just as she was about to give up and leave,
the dog came to her wagging its tail. It had smelled the meat in her bundle. But,
Jani didn’t have the slightest idea about canine behaviour and gave a feeble
attempt to shoo it away, confused and scared. But there was a sudden sharp bark
in reply, giving her a strong panic attack. The dog plunged upon her bundle in
an attempt to discover what it had smelled. Jani freaked out and after a brief
struggle managed to tear the bundle out of its mouth. A terrified Jani then ran
for her life, clasping her bundle tightly and not daring to look back.
Exhausted
and shaken by the unexpected aggression, she arrived at the city at mid noon.
It was exactly how her mother had described it to be- busy and flashy ever. She
found her place underneath a peepal tree growing near the road-side. There was
a woman selling fruits at a distance. She had tied her one-year old baby boy by
his right foot to the lamp-post nearby, restraining him from wandering into the
streets, and was busy attending to the customers. Her voice was hoarse and she
sweated even in the shade all day long. The fruits in her basket reminded Jani
of her empty stomach. She opened up her package hoping to find the piece of
meat. But there was no meat. There was a large tear in the bed sheet. So, the
dog had succeeded in its attempt after all! She searched for her other
belongings. She had her frocks and the packet of chalk intact. But, her treasure,
the doll was gone! That night, she slept underneath the tree with the bundle as
her pillow, crying in hunger and despair, chewing the chalk pieces she had and
longing for her cloth doll by her side and had a dream about her mother
narrating stories about the big city.
A tickle in the ear woke Jani up early morning. It was the dog from the slum licking
her face. It had followed her to the city and was now sitting beside her,
wagging its tail, its tongue out. The previous day’s tiff was still fresh in
her mind and this time Jani was more angry than frightened. The beast had stolen
her food and taken her dear doll. With much spite, she grabbed a stone lying
nearby and threw it at its head. The dog let out a weak whimper and skipped a
few steps back. Satisfied, Jani went back to sleep. A few moments later she
felt the tickle again. Annoyed and disgusted, she got up to hit the dog again
and stopped suddenly. It was her doll; the dog was holding it in its mouth. It
came towards her, this time with more caution, and settled near her, putting the
toy at her feet. Jani was viewing the whole drama silently and could not
believe her eyes. She had found her doll again. And she had found a new friend
as well. She patted the dog’s head and said, “Thank you. Will you stay here with
me? I’ll call you Kala”. The dog rested its head on her lap. Kala had reciprocated
her love.
The next day started bright for Jani. An apple had accidently rolled down from the woman’s
basket into the streets. She had found it while taking a stroll nearby and taken
it to her place. Kala had found a bone to chew upon. A light breeze was blowing
and they were dozing off under the cool shade of the tree. Kala would raise his
ears once in a while, paying attention to the slightest of sounds. But, Jani
was soon in a deep slumber, dreaming about her life in the slum. She saw
herself in her mother’s sari, the cloth doll in her arms and Kala following
her, barking at a neighbour of hers. Then she saw her home. Someone was cooking
inside the kitchen, might be her mother. Just as she was about to call her from
behind, she felt a tight slap on her face and woke up with a start. The fruit
seller lady was standing there, anger showing all over her dark face. Jani
noticed her black unclean teeth and fuzzy hair and shuddered. “You took the
apple from the streets, didn’t you?”, the lady enquired, dominance distinct in
her tone. She gave a nod and there was a slap again. “Now pay for it”, screamed
the lady. “But I don’t have any money”, Jani answered, a little frightened. The
lady was furious now. “I don’t sit here all day to do charity! If you don’t
have money then give me something else. Show me what you have got in that dirty
pack of yours”, she pointed towards her bundle. Jani quietly opened it. Kala
was watching her with much observance. The lady ransacked the bundle,
scrutinizing the things in it, until her eyes fell on the cloth doll. She took
it in her hands and muttered to herself, “My son is going to love this”. She
turned towards Jani and bluntly said, “I’ll take this.” The poor girl was
already in tears. That was her mother’s last gift. She could never part with
it, never. She snatched it back from the lady and snapped, “Anything, but
this.” Jani’s words were like a huge blow on the fruit seller’s superbity.
Enraged, she put her hands forward in an attempt to grab the doll from her. But
Kala was already alert. He pounced upon the lady, almost pinning her to the
ground. The lady was in a state of shock. Kala’s sharp barks left her no choice
but to leave the place. After she was gone, Jani hugged Kala and thanked him,
and promised never to leave him.
That evening, Kala was run down by a car. Jani was outside a baker’s shop, picking
up a half eaten cake from the dustbin nearby when she heard the brakes screech.
Kala was dead by the time she reached. His intestines were out and bathed in
blood. The car driver geared off not bothering to look at what had come under
the wheels. Passersby did a tch-tch and a tchu-tchu and went away. The fruit
seller lady gave a sinister smile and was back to her business, shouting in her
hoarse voice even more enthusiastically. Suddenly, the city no longer seemed
like what her mother had described. Jani cried by his side till midnight,
indifferent to the dust and the traffic in the streets. She had lost a friend.
Early
in the morning, when the road was empty and the dust had died down, Jani slowly
went to the peepal tree and brought back her soiled bed-sheet. She picked up the
bits and parts of Kala’s cold body and carefully wrapped it up in the cloth.
She took him back to the tree and started digging the ground with her bare
hands. But the ground was coarse and Jani was just a child with not enough
strength. Even after a couple of hours of desperate struggle she could still
not dig enough earth to lay Kala’s rotting body. The sun beams were slowly dawning
through the darkness. The street lights were dimming down and cars and buses
were beginning to run again. Jani saw that the fruit seller was back with her
baby. Keeping the previous day’s tiff and all her fear aside, she went to her
and asked, “Can you help me out? I need to dig the ground to bury my pet dog.”
The lady looked at her as if she were a criminal. “Go to hell! Both you and
your flea bag!”, she thundered. Jani thought for a moment and said again,
“Please, I know you didn’t like him. But he is dead now.” After few seconds of
silence the lady said, “Fine. I have a knife. But you’ll get it only when you
give me the doll. And yes, give me the knife as soon as possible. I have a lot
of work to do. I don’t sit here all day to solve other’s problems.” Jani nodded
a yes silently.
So her mother’s last gift was soon gone. A grave was dug out neatly for Kala and he
was rested in it. Jani was heart-broken and silent. She wept by his grave and
slept by his side that night. And she dreamt of being in her home again. She
saw her mother in the kitchen, cooking for her. She smiled at her and said,
“Where were you Jani? I’ve waited so long. Don’t ever leave me like this again.
I missed you….”
Boredom is a window that ends in a closed backyard

Benrali is an author-artist of Indian-Guyanese descent who graduated from Parsons School Of Design. Where there were no doorways or role models in the picture book or artists book market for Guyana and the Caribbean, author-artist Benrali has created his own. This pathway was not easy to find, to say the least. Anyone who takes a moment of time to learn about the diaspora from the Indian sub-continent under the British rule in regards to the fact that even after they settled in Africa, Fiji, Guyana, Surinam and Trinidad many had to uproot a second time either by force or by corruption within the countries they worked so hard in which gives a community very little time for art appreciation, writing or even keeping records, genealogy, etc . . . While trying to find that pathway where there were no prior role models he was actually led to a crossroad between cultures, styles and media.

| A Guitar Within A Peacock’s Eye – illustration by Benrali |
whether this is a feat
under the tropic of cancer
or a defeat
under the tropic of cancer
or a defeat
is hard to tell
the broken path beneath
rises through the patchwork
of smoothness
towards a heart-wrenching
calling
of a far-off land
the mind balks
and the maps go blind
as the path plunges ahead
like a long-drawn sigh
of uncertainty
a garland falls
on the fallen
those who live short
but live intense
and who travel
through intuition
to a point in an argument
to a logic
and then to a maxim
to sacrifice life
for a cause
their unhappy spirits
now cry for justice
this smoothness
is like a relief
of an ignorant’s adamant
knowledge
the earth moves
from the west to the east
exposing a meanness
or a lack of opportunity
or a lack of discipline
so the onus of self-discipline
falls on the traveler
the two parallel wheels
meant to work in unison
fall on two different surfaces
violating the standard operating
procedure
at this point
matter fails the spirit
and this rough passage
keeps the mind on a roll
and when the sun sets
there is an anxiety in the air
to get back home safe
anyhow
by any means
before the loss
of a life-saving grace.

and they made these hills
habitable

by carving rocks into caves
now far from the madding crowd
bats and similar unlovely
creatures
creatures
can find safety of a deserted
place
place
and unseen lizards rustle quickly
into the bush by the stony path
unbearably hot under the June sun
alerted by the incoming footsteps
and right over the Udaigiri hill
distant planes are seen flying
past
past
across the boundless sky
leaving along their flight path
streak of white smoke to create
a veritable tropic of cancer.
Amygdala
the sound of a hooter
comes from the very depth
of my brain gorge
like a skyward red alert
coming from a city street
mystique with night lights
as I see in a Hollywood film
is it a police car chasing
or an ambulance
or is it my own amygdala
scouting for new images
of unmitigated death?
the gong of my tears
raises a spectre of hell
but the water has
no quality of redemption.

The rain poured down monotonously hard.
And the roof leaked.Not properly; but in an irresolute,
irritating manner – drip-a-drop through the soggy rafters and the crumbling
red-earth tiles – like a slow, winter thaw.

The Shed’s open front – overlooking a
playing field and a presently deserted school building beyond – let a fine
spray blow in. Through this mist and rain, the patchy powder-blue and
light-grey sky, the lush-green grass and the bright-yellow buildings looked
like a soft-focus photo in brilliant colour.
Looking inside:-
A few long-tables and benches, paint
peeling, filled the place more with their size than number. Wet and damp in
parts, they were nowhere dry. Remnants of someone’s lunch yesterday, dust,

peeling, filled the place more with their size than number. Wet and damp in
parts, they were nowhere dry. Remnants of someone’s lunch yesterday, dust,
tobacco ash, butts and match-sticks formed a collage which dragged onto the
floor. Walls reflected the sky’s hue and texture. Only strewn scraps of
note-book paper belied the place’s attachment to an academic building.
Cool air and soft light gave an elated
sense of freedom. Yet, the Shed’s atmosphere was testimony that walls do not a
prison make. From this open gaol there was no escape. For this itself was an
escape – from dry lecture-rooms and the drier lectures within.
Two Seniors; a semester’s college life-left
in them; sat there getting wetter by the minute. They had a very symbiotic
relationship. One had cigarettes and pen; another, matches and the day’s
newspaper with some sections yet unmolested. And their grey matter was of much
the same kind – able to work on almost everything save studies and other
organized brain-washes.
Cupping cigarettes to avoid getting
them wet, they read the comics and solved the word-jumble. Sports pages were
read and the scores and players cussed and discussed. The crossword was
attacked; each clue’s solution hotly argued. New cigarettes lit, the long-drawn
and discursive arguments sometimes became silly. The crossword, thus, took
time. And the front-page never mattered.
All the while, inside the out-of-focus
buildings, unreceptive hordes listened to droning lectures on various
incomprehensibles – Cobweb Graphs, Deemed Incomes, Discounted Cash Flows, Going
Concern Concepts, Historical Cost Conventions, ISLM Curves, Spliced Indices . . .
Traffic to and from the buildings,
intermittent earlier, increased as time progressed – taking more people up to
join the hordes and bringing some escapees. Some just passed by, others shouted
sundry greetings the couple’s way – who now and then responded. Some came up –
to assist the crossword, further the arguments, cadge a drag or borrow a
cigarette. These last were most usually refused or told to perform sundry
possible and impossible acts – none of which were attempted.
News, gossip and other desultory talk
flourished and sputtered. This steady pair had broken off. That fat chap caught
smoking gave such a smart retort. This bum had wedged himself a place on the
team to Delhi. Let’s throw that guy out of the Union – he’s an irritating
interferer. And the manoeuvering needed with the faculty for that committee
post. The Long-Haired Girl was looking way-out yesterday. And so on . . .
Suddenly, it all ceased together. The
rain stopped. The crossword was complete; the arguments redundant. The
school-bell’s tolling mingled with the college-bell’s electric shrieking. The
gathering around the couple broke-up to join the now heavily one-way traffic –
out the gates near the Shed – toward better Delights.

Five Breaths 2 poems

One heart beats without pause;
One touch breaks the spell.
True love is a spiral staircase,
You climb and keep climbing.
One touch breaks the spell.
True love is a spiral staircase,
You climb and keep climbing.
Two hearts beat in syncretised time;
Two centimetres closer by the second.
Emotions run their rampage
In the world of thoughts.
Resistance is futile;
Oh the futility of resistance.
Oh the futility of resistance.
Three words have come to spell doom;
Three days and three nights of restlessness.
Faces fade in the crowd
of half knowing know-it-alls.
Three days and three nights of restlessness.
Faces fade in the crowd
of half knowing know-it-alls.
Four breaths of ecstasy;
Four walls of a dark room.
The sweet coldness of sweat
That trickles down the spine.
Four walls of a dark room.
The sweet coldness of sweat
That trickles down the spine.
Face the dark void in her eyes;
Her eyes are a void of darkness and secrets.
Her eyes are a void of darkness and secrets.
Five steps more towards oblivion;
Five delayed flights, you aren’t going home.
The electric love courses through my veins
And is already gone before I can hold onto it…
Five delayed flights, you aren’t going home.
The electric love courses through my veins
And is already gone before I can hold onto it…
Worlds Fall Apart (Ode to Chinua Achebe)
Different worlds with different beats and rhythms,
with
Different melodies and songs, cannot exist in absolute harmony;
It is not the balancing of the differences that matter,
Its rather the inability to appreciate these differences.
You said as much through a world of fiction.

Worlds fall apart, ages cease to exist
And all resistance becomes futile;
One world ends, another begins from its demise
Like a cannibalistic Phoenix, whose words are

But you say, “It is nightmarish.”

But you say, “It is fatal.”
Only those can feel those agonies
Those have seen their own land to be submerged
Sunk deep down the water mass
Sometimes your voices growl down from the giant
pillars of factories.

When I ask you to translate displacement
Your tongues stammer
Your hearts get hypertension
Only your teary eyes signal something so grave.
I understand a huge dam is a huge damnation

A Road-Side Story fiction
Chayanika Deka
Chayanika Deka
Jani had her home in a slum. Her mother used to sit underneath a canopy at the turning
of the small alley which ran across the blighted area, selling cigarettes and small
stuffs. Her income was meagre. Some extra money would pour in once in a blue
moon, and there would occasionally be provision for tea as well. Jani had
always seen that routine, her mother never tiring and setting up her little
shop every morning with new hope. She had never seen a life beyond those dusty
streets and dingy huts. Her mother would narrate stories about the city to her,
about the big tall buildings, the buses and cars, the busy streets and the
orange street-lights, the fancy restaurants and flashy shops, and she would
dream about being there someday. The house she was living in was a one room accommodation
with a leaky roof and brick walls, matted with ages of black soot. There was a
small bed in the corner with a soiled bed-sheet covering it. There was no money
to buy another and so they slept on it ever. A rainy day would be tough and
they would spend hours putting buckets under the leaks, empting and re-filling
all the while and praying for the downpour to stop. Dinner would usually be a
plate of white rice at most, and on more fortunate days, they would have lentils
and some vegetables. Life was difficult for them, but they were content. Jani’s
mother had stitched a cloth doll for her sixth birthday. The little girl adored
it and would show it off to her friends, comb its hair, offer it false food and
sleep with it by her side at night. She never parted with her doll. She would
enjoy the attention of her friends and would spend hours boasting about her
prized possession.

prized possession.
Monsoon
had settled in, the rain bringing with it a lot of distress that year. The gutter
nearby was overflowing with stinking murky water. The area was flooded and
dirty, diseases spreading and people dropping like flies. There were frequent
visits from NGOs and relief centres. But the scene was going from bad towards worse.
Medicines didn’t suffice and food was scanty. Jani’s mother too, was down with high
fever, some kind of deadly flu, the doctors said. She had become pale and thin.
The free medicines had failed to work and the poor girl didn’t know what to do.
A night after the relief camp had withdrawn her mother’s condition worsened.
She kept throwing up the whole night, her feet cold and body shivering. Jani
was scared to sleep with her. So, she slept on the floor with the doll by her
side and lulled herself to sleep. Her mother died that night; Jani was left all
alone.
The coming days were tough for Jani to cope up. Initially, the neighbours would
pity her and offer food from their small share. But as the days passed, the
warmth in their voice lessened. The shortage of and greed for a full time meal
and all the bitterness of their miseries had hardened their hearts. The rain
had got heavy and the roof leakier than before, and finally one ill-starred
night, it crashed. Poor Jani had no shelter now. Though she had survived the
accident, she knew that there was more discomfort coming her way. She hugged
her doll tightly to her bosom and cried the whole night, fighting the rain and cursing
her fate, wishing she were dead, and at the crack of the dawn, she made up her
mind to leave the slum forever, oblivious of the future.
So, she bundled her belongings up in the soiled bed-sheet. There wasn’t much to
carry. Just few old clothes, a stale piece of cooked meat, which one of her
neighbours had once offered, a packet of white chalk which her mother had given
long back, and her favourite, the cloth doll. As she walked past the small
alley, Jani remembered the good old days with her mother and her friends. She approached
the turning where her mother used to set her canopy up. The rain had swept away
the temporary set-up, leaving only a pool of mud instead. The oilcloth that her
mother had once used to save the puny shop from rains was half buried in mud,
and a stray dog sat there, happily munching on a bone. She envied the dog with
all heart. She tried to chase it away, suddenly feeling immensely possessive
about the thing that once belonged to her mother. But the animal was reluctant.
It gave a huge carefree yawn and reverted back to its chewing. She tried a few
more times, but failed. Jani was frustrated, her heart heavy with the failure
to retrieve her mother’s oilcloth. Just as she was about to give up and leave,
the dog came to her wagging its tail. It had smelled the meat in her bundle. But,
Jani didn’t have the slightest idea about canine behaviour and gave a feeble
attempt to shoo it away, confused and scared. But there was a sudden sharp bark
in reply, giving her a strong panic attack. The dog plunged upon her bundle in
an attempt to discover what it had smelled. Jani freaked out and after a brief
struggle managed to tear the bundle out of its mouth. A terrified Jani then ran
for her life, clasping her bundle tightly and not daring to look back.
Exhausted
and shaken by the unexpected aggression, she arrived at the city at mid noon.
It was exactly how her mother had described it to be- busy and flashy ever. She
found her place underneath a peepal tree growing near the road-side. There was
a woman selling fruits at a distance. She had tied her one-year old baby boy by
his right foot to the lamp-post nearby, restraining him from wandering into the
streets, and was busy attending to the customers. Her voice was hoarse and she
sweated even in the shade all day long. The fruits in her basket reminded Jani
of her empty stomach. She opened up her package hoping to find the piece of
meat. But there was no meat. There was a large tear in the bed sheet. So, the
dog had succeeded in its attempt after all! She searched for her other
belongings. She had her frocks and the packet of chalk intact. But, her treasure,
the doll was gone! That night, she slept underneath the tree with the bundle as
her pillow, crying in hunger and despair, chewing the chalk pieces she had and
longing for her cloth doll by her side and had a dream about her mother
narrating stories about the big city.
A tickle in the ear woke Jani up early morning. It was the dog from the slum licking
her face. It had followed her to the city and was now sitting beside her,
wagging its tail, its tongue out. The previous day’s tiff was still fresh in
her mind and this time Jani was more angry than frightened. The beast had stolen
her food and taken her dear doll. With much spite, she grabbed a stone lying
nearby and threw it at its head. The dog let out a weak whimper and skipped a
few steps back. Satisfied, Jani went back to sleep. A few moments later she
felt the tickle again. Annoyed and disgusted, she got up to hit the dog again
and stopped suddenly. It was her doll; the dog was holding it in its mouth. It
came towards her, this time with more caution, and settled near her, putting the
toy at her feet. Jani was viewing the whole drama silently and could not
believe her eyes. She had found her doll again. And she had found a new friend
as well. She patted the dog’s head and said, “Thank you. Will you stay here with
me? I’ll call you Kala”. The dog rested its head on her lap. Kala had reciprocated
her love.
The next day started bright for Jani. An apple had accidently rolled down from the woman’s
basket into the streets. She had found it while taking a stroll nearby and taken
it to her place. Kala had found a bone to chew upon. A light breeze was blowing
and they were dozing off under the cool shade of the tree. Kala would raise his
ears once in a while, paying attention to the slightest of sounds. But, Jani
was soon in a deep slumber, dreaming about her life in the slum. She saw
herself in her mother’s sari, the cloth doll in her arms and Kala following
her, barking at a neighbour of hers. Then she saw her home. Someone was cooking
inside the kitchen, might be her mother. Just as she was about to call her from
behind, she felt a tight slap on her face and woke up with a start. The fruit
seller lady was standing there, anger showing all over her dark face. Jani
noticed her black unclean teeth and fuzzy hair and shuddered. “You took the
apple from the streets, didn’t you?”, the lady enquired, dominance distinct in
her tone. She gave a nod and there was a slap again. “Now pay for it”, screamed
the lady. “But I don’t have any money”, Jani answered, a little frightened. The
lady was furious now. “I don’t sit here all day to do charity! If you don’t
have money then give me something else. Show me what you have got in that dirty
pack of yours”, she pointed towards her bundle. Jani quietly opened it. Kala
was watching her with much observance. The lady ransacked the bundle,
scrutinizing the things in it, until her eyes fell on the cloth doll. She took
it in her hands and muttered to herself, “My son is going to love this”. She
turned towards Jani and bluntly said, “I’ll take this.” The poor girl was
already in tears. That was her mother’s last gift. She could never part with
it, never. She snatched it back from the lady and snapped, “Anything, but
this.” Jani’s words were like a huge blow on the fruit seller’s superbity.
Enraged, she put her hands forward in an attempt to grab the doll from her. But
Kala was already alert. He pounced upon the lady, almost pinning her to the
ground. The lady was in a state of shock. Kala’s sharp barks left her no choice
but to leave the place. After she was gone, Jani hugged Kala and thanked him,
and promised never to leave him.
That evening, Kala was run down by a car. Jani was outside a baker’s shop, picking
up a half eaten cake from the dustbin nearby when she heard the brakes screech.
Kala was dead by the time she reached. His intestines were out and bathed in
blood. The car driver geared off not bothering to look at what had come under
the wheels. Passersby did a tch-tch and a tchu-tchu and went away. The fruit
seller lady gave a sinister smile and was back to her business, shouting in her
hoarse voice even more enthusiastically. Suddenly, the city no longer seemed
like what her mother had described. Jani cried by his side till midnight,
indifferent to the dust and the traffic in the streets. She had lost a friend.
Early
in the morning, when the road was empty and the dust had died down, Jani slowly
went to the peepal tree and brought back her soiled bed-sheet. She picked up the
bits and parts of Kala’s cold body and carefully wrapped it up in the cloth.
She took him back to the tree and started digging the ground with her bare
hands. But the ground was coarse and Jani was just a child with not enough
strength. Even after a couple of hours of desperate struggle she could still
not dig enough earth to lay Kala’s rotting body. The sun beams were slowly dawning
through the darkness. The street lights were dimming down and cars and buses
were beginning to run again. Jani saw that the fruit seller was back with her
baby. Keeping the previous day’s tiff and all her fear aside, she went to her
and asked, “Can you help me out? I need to dig the ground to bury my pet dog.”
The lady looked at her as if she were a criminal. “Go to hell! Both you and
your flea bag!”, she thundered. Jani thought for a moment and said again,
“Please, I know you didn’t like him. But he is dead now.” After few seconds of
silence the lady said, “Fine. I have a knife. But you’ll get it only when you
give me the doll. And yes, give me the knife as soon as possible. I have a lot
of work to do. I don’t sit here all day to solve other’s problems.” Jani nodded
a yes silently.
So her mother’s last gift was soon gone. A grave was dug out neatly for Kala and he
was rested in it. Jani was heart-broken and silent. She wept by his grave and
slept by his side that night. And she dreamt of being in her home again. She
saw her mother in the kitchen, cooking for her. She smiled at her and said,
“Where were you Jani? I’ve waited so long. Don’t ever leave me like this again.
I missed you….”

Butterfly poem
Rober Shakeshaft
As the sky fell back upon the earth
I was born of a chrysalis
bursting into silent light
As my wings yawned in yearning
my short life began
in a tiny flutter
Landing on a rainbow of colours
flitting in natures curiosity
just as I choose to
soar in my new found world
not reaching any great height
though as far as translucent wings can
see the admirable looks of children
as they ooh and aah
my brown speckled orange display
tiny hands hold jam jars
dream of my capture
in summers hope
each living creature destined
to its own wing – span of time
yet it is enough to be
for what is time now
only the moment caught
in its infinite purpose
its awaiting the breath
where beginning and end merge
in one beautiful moment

xiii.Cold-Blooded
Beauty 2 poems
Pratibha Biswas
Pratibha Biswas
Sashaying across the blood red carpet,
as the flashlights and cameras parted,
she grabbed eyeballs for her sense of fashion,
and her prized possession.
The prized possession,
warm and snug,
under her arm it slung,
twirling from side to side,
The cold blooded hide.
Hunted, Butchered,
Peeled and Stitched.
Inspiring avidity in some,
in some conspiring jealousy,
But not pity?
Taking pride,
in her cold blooded hide,
She’s a Cold Blooded Beauty.
Poetry
When everybody dreams, embalmed in the kohl of
the night,
in solitude, I stand by the window, soaking
midnight moonlight.
Gazing the grace of the stillness of the distant
dancing orbs,
I listen to the
harmony of the Spirit Divine.
When everybody dreams, embalmed in the kohl of

in solitude, I stand by the window, soaking

Gazing the grace of the stillness of the distant

I listen to the
harmony of the Spirit Divine.
And I feel through my skin, through the light
falling on me
the rhythm that keeps the universe in synergy;
the beat upon which the human heart beats;
the rhyme that spins the milky galaxy.
And I see though my eyes through the epiphany;
the manifestations of this omniscient energy;
making us rise and fall through life’s mysteries;
making us live the lines of its Poetry.

There is at every alley
a twist. Then a turn.
The alley leads to a house
( not a home).
Cats purr, dogs bark
and men and women
push shovels, decaying
remains of a foreboding truth.
The one they know so well.
Now, it is vapid, wan and
a trifle insignificant
to their singeing, hollow lives.
The alleys continue to twist
and turn, like a game of gnomes
and cards.
Collapsing into the wind’s fury.
There are houses.
But there are no homes.

Dessert 2 poems

Pooja Garg Singh
Some days they get glazed marble cream cake,
a family favorite –
They each sit with their spoons,
plundering
without use for portions or some such ceremony
picking
from converging pieces of glaze, vanilla,
chocolate
with a careful deftness born out of
practice
to swoop, pluck, peck at crumbs,
crumble –
In those evenings
of pre-dominant spherical
of pre-dominant spherical
shapes,
life comes full
circle carving, slicing, touching
circle carving, slicing, touching
yet not quite
The space within like a gnawing cavity no consumption
can fill
Two
Life is a passenger on the next seat of the bus
He forgets tickets, carries oranges, collects pips
She waits to reach home –
He forgets tickets, carries oranges, collects pips
She waits to reach home –
Night is a house of cards, they play king and queen
Their sense of humor (they) left with the joker
Hard to get becomes harder –
Sheets they do not wash fill
In a loneliness they do not feel
Rain is what they drink, tears are tiresome
People are those that walk on streets, talking
Food needs eating and teeth, they bite
Silences and words are comic strips, morning brings its own garbage
Promising rebirth, they kill each other every night
Time is a policeman on duty
Walls absorb sweat, silence, noise and night
Boredom is a window that ends in a closed backyard

Benrali book extracts
Delighted to feature Benrali’s work in this issue.
Benrali is an author-artist of Indian-Guyanese descent who graduated from Parsons School Of Design. Where there were no doorways or role models in the picture book or artists book market for Guyana and the Caribbean, author-artist Benrali has created his own. This pathway was not easy to find, to say the least. Anyone who takes a moment of time to learn about the diaspora from the Indian sub-continent under the British rule in regards to the fact that even after they settled in Africa, Fiji, Guyana, Surinam and Trinidad many had to uproot a second time either by force or by corruption within the countries they worked so hard in which gives a community very little time for art appreciation, writing or even keeping records, genealogy, etc . . . While trying to find that pathway where there were no prior role models he was actually led to a crossroad between cultures, styles and media.Being Guyanese for Benrali means “fusion” or blending and creating things that would never have been done otherwise stemming from his Indian forefathers.
benrali is also the author of The Turtles Dream & keys®; gardens without end and when I found a moon of chai. His work has been exhibited widely.

Manni From a World Beyond Stars
That night, king moon came and spoke to me, “You will leave the top of your palm tree.”
So the moon blew me down to the sand. I saw jewels running to the sea. All was quiet that night on Shell Beach, all but the turtles running to sea. The moon says I have to protect one,
I have to help him return to sea. He’s from a world beyond our stars, a rainbow beyond the galaxy. My short time with him is my Ghazal, then he disappeared into the sea.
All the sea turtles rushed to the waves, all except for my new friend Manni. The first face Manni saw was the moon. The first song Manni heard was the sea.
This was the first rainbow born at night. He’s from a world beyond our galaxy. In all the world there is none like him, from beyond the stars arrived Manni. Manni felt alone on the cold sand. Then a ray of light fell on Manni. “Hi,” said the moon, “welcome to Shell Beach.
Follow my light and enter the sea.” Manni was scared of the endless sea, “Hurry,” said the moon, “enter the sea.” The full moon’s light shined so bright that night,
Manni saw a new world undersea, Manni found he could move much faster. in the watery-world he swam freely. he swam over sea anemones,
the sea creatures tickled his belly. Manni found beautiful sea dragons. With crowns like feathers they came to see, to see the first rainbow born at night.
they came to greet their new friend Manni. Manni then asked the sea dragon king, “have you met or seen my family?” “No,” said the dragon, “didn’t see them.
maybe the fish met your family?” they swam with their parade of colors. the night fish had more colors than he. he asked if they saw other turtles, but they did not see his family. “please, stay and play with us for awhile, we play in the sea anemones.” “no”,said Manni, “I have to find them.” then manni swam off, searching the sea.

The Golden Turtle Key
All winter Jupiter dreamed
with earth, stones and gnomes.
All winter Jupiter dreamed
within the roots and bulbs of
hyacinths, deep under the snow.
But spring has come, ice melts
and the winter must go.
Now its time for a box turtle
to break free, time for bulbs to
grow and time for Jupiter to see.
Now its time for him to feel the
Sun on his cold shell. And then a beak pokes through the garden and I see Jupiter is lucky!
The spring has set him free. A box turtle returns safely to the garden from his long winter dream.
On his shell are the colors from last fall. Like hyacinths, his shell has new blooms each year.
But this year I see a new pattern, I see a golden skeleton key.
I sometimes feel like Jupiter’s colors, out of place in this world. Jupiter’s colors are so bright
they remind me of the slipper orchids, colors that are hard to find in nature, colors that I imagine are a memory of ancient seas, colors that remind me of fish from coral reef.
Look at all the patterns in Jupiter’s garden; stars in moss, circles in sand, ivy wings, little hats on mushrooms and sun letters on the box turtle’s shells.
And what does an artist see when gazing at these patterns? I see a song that cannot be heard.
Imagine if the Eastern Box Turtles became extinct, what secret words would leave the planet?
I imagine all patterns in nature are keys, I imagine box turtle patterns are gold letters that fell from the sun.
Like two snowflakes, no two box turtles have the same words. I imagine the gold patterns are poems elves have read for millions of years.

| When A Peacock Soars Above Stars – painting by Benrali |
Lapis Lazuli, stone of the night sky,
inlaid around Tutankhamen’s eyes.
Bleecker Street bazaar had everything;
shadow puppets from Bali, booming
techno CDs from unknown djs,
Salsa music, banana shakes,
bonsai trees and in one booth,
I found a ring that held night.
I found a man, parched skin,
selling silver rings from Tibet.
He sold stars from earth;
tigers-eye, turquoise, amber,
amethyst, lapis lazuli, agates
nested in pagodas, temples,
angels, and mouths of dragons.
I tried one on, a magic ring,
a ring forged in Tibet with
hammer and song.
In the center was the night with
clouds of gold from a lions mane.
Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan;
blue blood that hardened deep
in the Himalayan range into blue
stones who called out to be found,
to be polished, to sit in silver thrones,
who will rest on foreign fingers,
staring up at sky kingdoms
they will one day be kings of.

Celia, can you remember her?
Can the dead remember color
of night, tastes of root beer and Celia?
Its winter, I have the indigo
night, your avocado sandwich
darkens with Celia in the mind.
The seed still grows with Tulsi
on the window sill. An alarm
clock flashes twelve, twelve, twelve.
Can you remember Celia? That
spider we watched after sex
watching us from the ceiling.
She’s long dead now, her body
collapsing into itself, in that corner
she now hides from the world
in her architecture of broken legs.

Exiled Among Natives book reviews
Bishnupada Ray
Bishnupada Ray
A resurgence of Indian English Poetry is on the way as is evident from the
proliferation of anthologies. It must be. It has already established itself as
a genre to reckon with. It threw up many surprises in terms of multiplicity of
voices, gambits, anthologies, rare philosophical moments and strange realities.
It has also wandered through wilderness because there is no simultaneous growth
of substantial critical theory to support this genre. Indian poets indulging in
prose writing to support, extend or elaborate their poetry is a very rare
phenomenon, except their lively and informative interviews. However this lack
of critical theory, school and movements allowed Indian English poetry a
rhizomatic growth with each bulb standing unique in the string or the web of
poetry. Prominent poets jut out of the ground like anthills but one can sadly
note their urban-cosmopolitan-academic inclination to run into the shadow of
western canon. My example of a true Indian English poet who comes close to the
Indian Idiom if it exits at all is Arun Kolatkar. And my view of any review of
Indian English poetry is not to disregard those minor poets who exude the
confidence of the soil but who are discredited for their stylistic ineptitudes and
nativism.

provides us with a correct perspective on Indian English poetry! I have read
his foreword to the Binod Mishra edited book Rainbow Redemption: New Bearings in Indian English Poetry and now I
have the privilege of reading his foreword to the anthology under review. He
has shown the responsibility of a perceptive critic in critiquing the
well-promoted anthologies of the past especially those that give the impression
that the same batch of people writes Indian English poetry in India. One can
add that the sameness is not only in names but also in the creative output of a
cosmopolitan branded well-networked shopping mall where the home-grown cottage
products are displayed as exotic desi variety.

It is not easy at all

of reading the Bible (the poem) directly bypassing the institution of the

Fox Chase Review
Fox Chase Review
Words Not Spoken by Vinita Agrawal
Review by g emil reutter.
Poet Vinita Agrawal is a realist who writes with passion about her life and those around her. Agrawal is excellent in her use of metaphor and writing poetic narratives such as the opening stanza of the title poem Words not Spoken:
.After mother passed away, the house shrunk,
silence expanded. Father and I heard pins of
emptiness drop. We discussed the sooty sun
behind the clouds, the salty rain. We mumbled
about what to have for lunch and dinner but
did not parley on what to do with mother’s saris.
We did not talk about the aroma that was missing
from the kitchen, or the flock of indigent mynahs
twittering hungrily in the balcony, their beaks
agape with personal loss.
.
In this one stanza Agrawal communicates the loss of a loved one with metaphors: the house shrunk, silence expanded, pins of emptiness drop, aroma that was missing from the kitchen, mynahs with beaks agape with personal loss. It is simply a beautiful stanza.
.
From the fourth stanza of Draconian:
.
It is a very bright moon tonight
that presses heavily on our parting
turns tears to silver, silence to gold.
It does the right thing always.
Let us prepare for the distance.
.
 |
| Jayanta Mahapatra launching Vinita’s book at Pondicherry Literary Festival, 2014 |
The contrast of the bright moon pressing heavily on parting is a wonderful image. Tears to silver, silence to gold reveals the value Agrawal places on emotion but even a higher value on silence and endurance not only in this relationship but for life. This collection of poetry covers a period of 1997 to present. These poems of life and faith unfold before the reader revealing a life well lived in all the lows and highs we suffer and enjoy. Words Not Spoken is a valuable collection of poetry by Vinita Agrawal

Rohith
Rohith
Rohith,
a medico from Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, is a young poet and has been writing
poetry for six years. His poetry has been published in many online magazines
like Muse India, Kritya, Four Quarterly
Magazine, Copy Left Web, New Mirage Journal, Istanbul Review, Brown Critique,
Pif Magazine, Ignitink etc. and print magazines like Kavya Bharati and Side Stream.

Pif Magazine, Ignitink etc. and print magazines like Kavya Bharati and Side Stream.
Rohith’s
poetry is essentially lyrical and imagistic. His thematic range is wide with
love and loss at its centre. It is also a world of miracles and metamorphoses
where the lover turns into a tree on an island following the spring’s
footprint, a strange rain dries up the streets, a man reading a newspaper burns
while a woman freezes and the poet drowns, where cats are meditating Buddhists
but for their ever-moving tails, a mosquito kills a man sucking his
blood as he is too idle to kill it, life is a dead almond leaf, love is an
empty platform and a love letter sings from within the dustbin filling the
night with melody and the chair hums a raga while a blank paper plays bansuri,
a door plays harmonium and the clock is a lyricist. There is also pain here for
the disappearing sparrows, vanishing villages , exiled words and lost glances.
There is too the embarrassment, ‘what if I am a poem written by someone else?’
and there are larger political anxieties as in the poem about Manipur. Many of
the poems are marked by irony, sarcasm, surrealism and nostalgia. The idiom is
clearly informed by another language that makes it quaint and even structurally
unsound. For a beginner, Rohith has enough imaginative potential to grow into a
fine poet once he overcomes his initial shortcomings. I wish him greater
linguistic precision and a more evolved, mature and less overstated idiom
which I am confident he will soon find.
