Flat

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

‘I have purchased a 1000 sq.ft. flat’,
for ten years he conveyed this news
from hill down to the sea.

Now he stays in a hut with his mother.
The old lady is suffering from cancer-
malignancy second stage.
Someone else has purchased the flat.

Now he tells, ‘I have a mother’.
Except life and death nothing is permanent!
