“মানুষের সঙ্গে কোনো বিরোধ নেই


না, মানুষের সঙ্গে আমার আর বিরোধ নেই কোন–
এখন পাওনাদার দুর্ঘটনায় পড়লে তাকে নিয়ে যেতে পারি হাসপাতালে
প্রাক্তন প্রেমিকার স্বামীর কাছ থেকে অনায়াসে চাইতে পারি চার্মিনার
দাড়ি গজানোর মতো অনায়াস এ জীবনে আমি
রামকৃষ্ণের কালিপ্রেমে দেখি সার্বভৌম যৌনশান্তি
বাবলিদের স্বামীপ্রেমে দেখি সার্বজনীন যৌনসুখ
একটা চটি হারিয়ে গেলে আমি কিনে ফেলি এক জোড়া নতুন চপ্পল
না, মানুষের সঙ্গে আমার আর বিরোধ নেই কোন
বোনোর বুকের থেকে সরে যায় আমার অস্বস্তিময় চোখ
আমি ভাইফোঁটার দিন হেঁটে বেড়াই বেশ্যাপাড়ায়
আমি মরে গেলে দেখতে পাব জন্মান্তরের করিডোর
আমি জন্মাবার আগের মুহূর্তে আমি জানতে পারিনি আমি জন্মাচ্ছি
আমি এক পরিত্রাণহীন নিয়তিলিপ্ত মানুষ
আমি এক নিয়তিহীন সন্ত্রাসলিপ্ত মানুষ
আমি দেখেছি আমার ভিতর এক কুকুর কেঁদে চলে অবিরাম
তার কুকুরীর জন্যে এক সন্ন্যাসী তার সন্ন্যাসিনীর স্বেচ্ছাকৌমার্য
নষ্ট করতে হয়ে ওঠে তৎপর লম্পট আর সেই লাম্পট্যের কাছে
গুঁড়ো হয়ে যায় এমনকী স্বর্গীয় প্রেম– শেষ পর্যন্ত আমি
কবিতার ভেতর ছন্দের বদলে জীবনের আনন্দ খোঁজার পক্ষপাতী
তাই জীবনের সঙ্গে আমার কোন বিরোধ নেই– মানুষের সঙ্গে
আমার কোন বিরোধ নেই”
ফালগুনী রায় ( Falguni Roy )

Monica Laura Rapeanu
“C10 (or the king's carolers – from student times)

on the side stairway, we gather in the evening, many
the cold cement steps welcome us
as if we were the king's carolers
we have mulled wine and dry snacks
the orange guitar stretches and warps in the candlelight
we take another drag from the cigarette, nibble on sticks and salty biscuits
happiness pricks our veins with Burmese nails

One floor below, behind the door 'Mr. Blues - Don't Disturb'
the tasty rot of jazz caresses our toes
We sin in thought, our minds dangling from the railing

later, the Serbs come to sing with us
Golden-haired like gods from a bombed country
we scratch the wall with our nails, don’t know what to say
they bring us wafers with fruits and chocolate
wrapped in green foil

the second evening we gather again on the side stairway
with the same mulled wine and dry snacks
and the same us

the old rockers hanging heavy on the guitar’s body
at the midnight office.”
Monica Laura Rapeanu, Orbul de la Cină
