STORIZEN POETRY

Can't we hibernate?

- Moinak Dutta

Can't we hibernate,

For some months?

Like some other creatures do, Sleeping through every winter

Or summer ,

Making a cave deep into mother

earth

Sleeping , sleeping just?

When we are fast asleep

The earth becomes so beautiful, We dream, while the planet reboots

itself

Making it greener, purer, happier,

When the cars do not honk, When the factories do not shoot columns of black fumes

Into the sky,

The earth lives merrily.
