Tell Me A Meaning Poem by Jyotishman Debnath

for every word there is a meaning
the love poems, soil fire and air
the barking of dog,
a cricket jumping into a blood stained shirt
everything has a meaning

whoever finds the meaning
he can find ten stars in his fingertips
like the children playing hide and seek
the wounded words crave for a voice of blood and flesh

and the craziness of lover and poet goes on
in the evening the weeping willows
search for a touch of a salty tongue
the candle upon the palm of an old
women lights whole night long

O' My dear talkative rain
tell me an another meaning
which the sky never told
me,
the dry soil!
