The 51st Winter
The 51st Winter
Rajib Chocroborty
When you reach your 51st winter
you see cracks on the ceiling
paint coming off
soot growing thicker
you see children teasing an old man
a dog inadvertently stepping into
a wrong neighbourhood
something missing in your voice
and realize that spring will never
return to your toenails
a new gadget
you can never get the hang of
