Poem by Asoke Kumar Mitra
IT HAPPENS
It happens
You are back from exile
Jolted from a dream
Just happened
Your mind is thinking
What never thought
Someplace else
You know nothing
Sunset and moonrise
Never cared to know
You look through a curtain
Stray dogs barking
Time here is not connected
In quarantine…
