The city is sleeping

The city is sleeping

Udhomunto hangs like a bat injured time

 

In the dark corner of a narrow street 

A fallen old lamppost

Looking for its own lost reflection 

 

Kalila Innocent dreams fall into the womb 

Chewing stones on an empty stomach and drinking sweat

Selling oneself by weighing body parts on scales 

Why is this Bagmati flowing backwards?

Why is the height of Everest decreasing? 

Why is sadness in Buddha's eyes? 

Why is fire dancing like a snake?

Who will be burned by this fire, 

To the mind or the skin? 

On the tomb of unconscious doom

The murder of emotion and the death of excitement 

A dark night -

stands as a dictatorship 

A borrowed Las-

has reached Aryaghat from the hospital 

An innocent morning -

is quietly extinguished on the tip of a cold bugger 

When the sky is touched by the loud sound of the plea 

This city drunk by Jaad said 

Why is the stick sleeping in a warm bed!
