Tides rise to meet the sky
In the Sundarbans
As the sky dives frequently
To borrow some condiments
From its marshy islands
For making rain;
Often overdoing, then hitting
The Sundarbans
With cyclones and storms
Flooding itself, the sky
Meets the tides
In the Sundarbans.

Flora and fauna there
Love drama
And everyone’s a fan of the Bengal Tiger,
A method actor,
Its every move, meaningful.
*
And us folks, we take our boats
And get busy earning a living or sightseeing
(Hands tied, backs bent, loans taken, empty stomachs
Populated, polluted, dripping blood, we work so hard to make a living)
When we can simply live,
Live simply, now, here and there
In the Sundarbans.
