How long does the corpse feel burdensome <br />As long as the body rests on the shoulder <br />From home to the crematorial flames. So long <br />Chanting of Hari Bol. Images on empty walls <br />Garland, incense, peace, prayers for remission <br /> <br />Sorrow does not experience any vacuity. As the <br />Burden steadily recedes, tears reify. Spider's webs <br />Adorn the frame. Prior to wiping away the face <br />The griefless man efface one by one the dead soul's passion <br />Essence, reminiscenes and gems, all frozen emotions<br /><br />CHOUDHURI SUKUMAR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cry-13/
