ইংরাজি কবিতা - সুমন্ত চ্যাটার্জ্জী

THE GUILLOTINE

Sumanta Chatterjee

The way you destroy pimples

To smoothen the land

Or swat a disturbing fly

To scatter seeds of peace

Seem trivial altogether,

The more soft you are

The more cruelty

Felicitates the bloody wood-

On the verge of sadism

Head and heart stand apart

Like some paralysed smoke,

When the Guillotine strikes!
