Bijay Kant Dubey City Poems

A modern city girl
Calling herself
A Sufiana Indian English poetess,
A Muslim Radha burning
...

Sire, your French-cut beards
Though not from France,
But reared in an Indian saloon of that type
Is marvellous, excellent,
...

City-life of
The morning walkers
And the evening walkers
And they walking and walking
...

The streets full of and packed with,
Traffic jams halting the pace for a break
And life coming to a stop,
Breath seeking for space,
...

Bombay is not what it had been in the past,
A small bristling town to a mega city,
The journey from,
But today everything sells there.
...

I see the city
And think,
When does it sleep,
When does it awake?
...

Metro City,
Metro City,
This is Metro City
Of the underground metro rails,
...

Film City
Of filmy guys and fellows
Talking of films and film-making,
Models and modelling,
...

Mayapur

Mayapur,
Yaha Mayapur hai,
...

Metro City,
This is Metro City,
Metro Railway,
Underground Railway Station City
...

Where Bisnaga, Victory City,
Pampa Kampana,
How her grief after mother's death,
How the powers given to by Parvati
...

City after city lies it shelled,
Devastated and destroyed,
Kharkiv,
Kiev,
...

The jury is right,
I mean the judges
In rescinding
The award,
...

Written as choruses, stanzas
New Mexico Blues
Is a book of verse
Conversational, prosaic
...

A city-girl as a poetess,
A modern poetess,
Modern not, but ultra-modern and contemporary
And contemporary too not,
...
