No one’s asked me how I am doing in a while
In Bengali, we usually say, “Cholche”
Meaning – And so it goes
I have never really felt at home in my house
Accommodated, but not welcome,
Truth be told, I felt quite alone
The Krishnachura by my
window was felled in the storm
A dump of sand now – where it used to be
I hunt for signs around this house now
I know there are
places, where I hid bits and pieces, of me.
