Two Poems by Sayani Mukherjee

 





Home  

 

 

A stately home of decorated lamps 

The wall blew of homegrown facts 

A limerick of two-penced walls 

A mark on the wall, a safeguard of rubbles 

A thick mossed cottage, a writing on home 

Homegrown homesickness around my gaze 

The sea shore of shattered lamps a pain in my left bruise 

I know not yonder thee a maverick lost canopy 

Molten raindrops abound thy skin  

The flower grew among starlit bones  

It asks for home too  

A nihilist pain staking twofold grimace 

A soft paced milkywave to land my moonwalled trance.




Tea  

 

 

Teapots and adorable napkins 

The child's soul knows no bounds 

It clasps a little a lithe wards dream 

A homesickness that grows in your soul 

A pungent tea flavoured gift that i picked up 

A flower of moth eaten daisies I charm in thee 

Bottled and boat necked gifts that churn my soul 

A homely affair a stage show for faint hearted 

I like to knit sweaters in lulled voice 

What if my voice reached you today?  

I will scramble and do the dishes the art of  

Domestic choices still I landed on my fairy tales 

I daresay I will write on my behalf  

As poetry becomes a stagecraft for skin and home.
