Three poems by Mahamuda Rahman Shuchi


Bed Cover

Stains
I hate stains on my bedcover most.
Not the black marks on time,
Not the loose strings of a careless history,
Not a messy heap of stupid bloody images,
Who cares about them? There may be thousands
Or hundred thousands stains on my bed.
But on my bedcover?
I don't let any survive.

Canon

Is it universally fixed that
Ram will be always Ram
And
Raban will always be Raban?
No way!

Liable Options

This is an afternoon
To either compose a poem
Or peel a half-boiled potato.
One would certainly like the smell of both -
The poem and the potato.
