Travelling Experience

I have a little experience of travelling the world. I even don’t know how to jump And never stood before a waterfall for real But nowadays in my sleep I’ve weird dreams, none of them happens in the soil of my land The night before last I was drowning in the Victoria Fall in my dream Did you think I was trying hard and fast to float? I didn’t-how could I benefit? I had my confidence in the laws of physics when it comes to floating how it works for matter and liquid I knew I was drowning I even didn’t throw my hands and feet I was stoic I was breathing the water in the fall in my sleep in the dream- I was drowning. I was trying but my memory didn’t help the ‘kolemah’ I knew by heart didn’t come to me But I remember I uttered your name three times before I drowned. * Translated from original (Bengali) to English by RAZIA SULTANA
