The Clock


The wall clock, wandering at me
It does so at my slight—
As if it think , I might
Finally translate ‘Time’.

I told the Time itself: Can’t you cease!
Can’t you take me back
To the rambling banks of the Teesta?

Where, restless breezes blowing on a youthful scarf,
That pleaser boat and the Teak-wood curve,
The damp shore – the regress
Where, all those words drowned into the river-base.

Rust, that surely settled on the pages of memory;
Yet, moments of love
Bask in the water that green or bluish
Her, floral perfume lingers in a playful guise—
Year, date and the moment—all précis.

Irrationally, time is aging by the hands of Clock.
