Mainak Ganguly’s poem: Love


The war is over

Bodies lie dead

Vultures hover

Soulless, naked


The sun is a little too bare to handle

For there is shame everywhere

And though the moon holds the candle

Nights just don’t care

 

Not a soul is in pain

For there is pain nowhere

How on earth could there be a pain!

When there isn't a soul anywhere!!

 

Where are all the souls?

The corpses stare at the heavens high above 

As they lie in their holes,

Their souls look for new bodies destined to love.
