I've no sex

by Shobuj Taposh   Jul 12, 2012


I've no sex,
So am deathless; only creep along.

Being edited by the cultivator of the Rig Veda,
I stayed in the body of young Ogni

I was in the firefly-light of sophists,
On the main road I was in wise Socrates.
Being an eyesore of monarchs,
I left Athens with Anaxagoras.

I stayed at Hera for twelve years,
Blew simoom with camel's hooves.
I was then nameless in their heads too
Who demolished the jaheliat zoo.

I returned Tribeni as a poet,
And in the south-east, placed my bed.
Here I'm named as Shobuj Taposh
On the peak of Keokradong,
And incline towards land
As lava creeping along.

*Ogni : The fire-god, an Indian myth. But here the word is used to indicate power.
*Hera : A mountain of Mecca.
*Simoom : sandy storm of Arabian desert area.
*Tribeni : A confluence of the rivers Ganges, the Jamuna, and the Saraswati at Allahabad in India.
