Consecration - Soumik Kumar De
A structure of red brick
Or of marvelous marbles
Or an echoing hollow tomb
But for you
But for me.
A cask for wine
Or tray of flowers
Or a designed rug
But for you
But for me.
A pray of whisper
Or one with loud speaker
Or a holy gesture
But for you
But for me.
A flickering candle
Or a smoky bundle
Or a burning pyre.
But for you
But for me.
A veiled hijab
Or a cosy cassock
Or even a divine dhoti
But for you
But for me
Why for you
Why for me
Why for him?
Fuse them
Blend them
Merge them
Only to say
But for us
But for us.
