The new year

sevai simmers

on the flame.

Sweet aroma

of milk thickening

in the pan, juiced

with raisins and

nuts, overhangs

the house.

A singing

procession of

men and women

drift through

the cypress shadows.

In their chorus

rings Tagore's

songs, welcoming

Boisakh, the first

summer month.

Conch shells

are blown.

Its echo thinned

by a splitting

wind, as Bengal

wakes to merrry

by the banks

of Ganges.

A pink strand of

the rising sun slants

through the skylight.

The milk is now

settled in the pan,

as I look for you.

Wouldn't you come

and check the sugar

in our new beginnings?
