Sutanuka Ghosh Roy
She builds the city
cementing the cracks of
tattered maps of memories
catastrophic weather
a broken
copper cauldron.
In the parapets
stacks half a sack of rice, few potatoes
a handful of green chillies
a bottle of mustard oil.
Clings to a rusty safety pin
shines like
waxed shoe-polish
while her city sleeps.
