Confession of a Doll

Dr Sudhansu  Dash

I would not put on

The half made face of a man

Better to live with myself as a doll.

At least to feel the completeness of my being

I can tolerate my life

My body made of dead cotton and wire

Carry my face to you

I will wait here from eternity to eternity.

May the lamp be extinguished

Somebody says ‘,Stop it’

Say .

May come the violent brown waves of silence

From every direction

May not my silent forefathers sit before me

I will live here alone

Taking my two empty eyes

At least I can see

I do no injustice to my creator.
