Bishnupada Ray


 

Blue Fly

a blue fly in the sky
hovers like a raft
over the malformed desert

the sky falls with bodies
the eye cannot meet the eye
the sand is all over the sky

the sun is a smoking gun
belching out the last spasm
in the throes of an early death

the raft moves near the pass
beating the wings of retreat
the sky vanishes from the eye

the rock rises from the dust
limbs are finally assembled
in the figure of the rock.
