From Kolkata, with love

Dear Suman,

Wish I could send you the autumn sky, the terrace,
those bracts of bougainvillea you planted.

Wish you could rest on your armchair, sense
the shapeless shape up the Creator.

Your face appears blurred on the photographs.
But your college campus looks nice.

The rasogollas, gulab jamuns should remain fresh
till they reach you.
Good luck. Good health.

-Ma.
