CURTAIN CALL

CHITRANJANA BANDOPADHYAY ,

ISC BATCH-2019

At last, the last words are spoken,

And the last thought is penned.

There is angst and hindrance and laughter and revelry

that coats these walls.

There's betrayal and friendship sitting side by side on the

field, and pain and joy walk together down the halls.

The last thing we needed was a calamity of sorts.

Carrying the universe in our eyes, we scaled mountains

and storms.

The monotony of each other is a welcoming thought, now

that I'm on the other side of the cosmos,
my pen keeps gliding over the paper without a break,

tiring, as it is. Time heals.

And if it doesn't, it will be there for all of us to look back

at,

after eons and light years away and wonder,

What children we were.
