The phantoms of time speaking <br />In the poetry of Jayanta Mahapatra <br />As the silent listeners <br />And the unknown horse-rider <br />Knocking at some haunted house mansion <br />Of the forest track, <br />But the phantom listeners listening to, <br />Responding not, <br />Not the ganjeris smoking ganja <br />From the chillum, <br />An earthenware pipe, <br />Clay baked and made, <br />Not talking about the marijuana smokers.<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-phantoms-of-time/
