When a Big City Embracing Poet
Birmingham-
My childhood remembrance
begins in the district of Majibag; *
when I first entered her street;
she offered her breast to me
showed me the fading pages of her history
Here I learned the grammar of cities
here parallel lines of life
touch each other.
I know Birmingham like an old friend.
She acquainted me with the falling leaves
ofVilla park;
in them I saw the innocent laughter of childhood
Here- silently
the canals merge into the river
and the river into the sea
The Titanic start her journey again
...

* Majibag: poet's childhood district where grew up.
