(to me, Kushal Poddar)
The crooning wood-pigeons break the thread
to announce by their void silence
that someone is coming. The boy hops in.
his summer vacation of failing
arithmetic and geometry
is lost amid green hedges and bushes.
With eyes shut and earth is the movements
imprinted in red drape, he dreams
of the world in terms of millions
of digits, forms, complex equations.
A gray kite sits on the raftered roof
of a distant memory. Suddenly
the boy finds that he is solving life.
