Ipshita Chakraborty is from West Bengal, India. She loves writing poems and fiction. She is also fond of reading. Read two of her poems below.

 

 

Reaching out to infinity

You are that infinity

I reach out to.

I lay my gazes on you

like a chukar at the moon.

I am wingless, how sad!

You’re moon,

I can’t even touch a star.

 

 

A New Sun

Innocence bows its head

and sighs,

as she is forced by fate

to walk through the

rustling ruts of rejection.

she never knew

a wolf, turned her pet

who stripped from guts,

the leftovers of her bliss,

as it might hunt the dead.

 

she wears your face,

O rural race!

and ain’t she now

a schlockmeister,

who sells ill omens?

ain’t she a man-eater

or a witch, now?

No.

she is not.

just

as she wears your face?

 

like pearls bloom

by open mouth,

she will as well.

hounds of rejections,

imbibed in her soul,

she’d bloated,

didn’t flinch,

she accepted.

 

Now for once,

when she stands up

for herself,

what fate? What bowed head?

she’d rise a new sun

from deep down

those ruts of

Rejections,

rejecting all of ’em.
