The conversation

Fishing sister! Tell me  how much fish you caught? Are they to illuminate the moments with your own? Or, are you taking them to market?

Fishing sister! Tell me 


how much fish you caught?


Are they to illuminate the moments with your own?


Or, are you taking them to market?


The gazette reports,


 'price of the fish 


in recent days has soared'


O! Lady of the river!


what do you do 


with the money accumulated?

Confusion surrounds scheduled phone conversation between Nepali...


‘Eons and eons since,


In this river 


We’ve been fishing


The water flows


The fish flows


Rocks have melted to sands


And sands have flowed 


leaving us behind’


‘Sir, one doesn’t fish to buy golds and silver,  


bold is the hunger where the hearth is cold, hearth of my home is cold.”


How often do you satiate yourselves?


“harsh is the love, mother who is poor.


Eating fish don’t keep them


 today for tomorrow.”


And with today’s catch what have you planned to buy?


 “syrup and pills


For my bed ridden husband.”


And what will you feed your children tonight?


“Tea without sugar


Hearth without fire


Scold full of love.”


O! I had assumed 


you must be raising 


a sailing castle 


resilient to;


torrent and tidal waves.


"lol!"
