Seadusk

Nalin Vilochan Sharma

Dunes of sand like cats curled asleep,

The waves lapping-playing on their paws.

Cloudlams gra!ing sun"s greensward

Dauntless, unama!ed.

# walking in an infinite void $

 % vagrant point on the yellow sands $

 %cross the eternal triangle

&f sky, earth, and the shoreless sea.

 %s the ackwash of my voyage

 %re visile only ' cigarette-smoke

Trailing on the wind( on the sands,

 % numer of footprints

To e full when the waves will sweep them over.

Nalin Vilochan Sharma )*+*-*+* was rofessor of /indi at atna 0niversity and a renowned /indi

of e2perimental poetry called 3Nakenvad4 formed from the initial letters of their names' Nalin, 5esari and
