Two Poems by Kanchan Chatterjee

stopping by
 
around mid-day
the bus stops
at the motel…
 
I sit inside
and look out
through the broken
window pane...
 
a lonely cow munches cardboard;
a backdrop of baked landscapes,
 
mountain ranges
or maybe dunes;
from a distance they all look the same
 
I eat in silence and wait…



a moment captured
 
looking out the moving window
I see an old fellow
sitting under the
shadow of a
Coca-Cola hoarding
by the dried up river
 
catching his breath...
