Owl and Theory of Fall

Late spring’s midday. Quickly the owl flew
Out of the hole of the tree. Like every day.
Sat on the branch of a nearby rain tree.

Wary glance by wifely eye- truly Stretching.
By these few days she realizes someone
Fallen in love with her.

Interrupted intimacy- fleet lyrics all the leaves
Of the nearby Mahogany tree begin to fall
It keeps standing bare bodily like Adam-
Eaten forbidden fruit.

In shameless posture what is it thinking?
Does it have any senses- or any thoughts?
Should I ask Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose?

The trees have life – what needs to prove it!
Directly we sense a tree grows, buds, and
Bears fruit – even dies.

Who knows, maybe the word ‘life’ is more
Theoretical and analytical; Maybe they have
Sensation – language and love too.

Not a single leaf left- is this how leaves fall?
In a rustle. Together. As if the tree says- falls,
They fly too. Even cross the border in groups.

However, this is leaf falling – not uprooting.
Uprooted is the tree that wants to exist
Even after it expires!

Creates secret cells in its septic body to have
A safe factory of producing senseless owls
To run an arbitrary anarchy of crows-vultures.

The owl looks bored at my indifference.
Went back to its hole. Perhaps moodily.
Smoothly. Since not a single stone fell.
No one threw- no naughty boy.

The mahogany leaves surround me at all.
But, captured my thoughts by a group of
Owl men who are emerging from the hole
Of the tree evicted recently.

The tree is evicted – not really uprooted.
Sprouted roots in the lingering darkness
Still sigh throughout the entire country.
