এক কোনে আবদ্ধ, একটুখানি রাত রয়ে গেছে। আমাদের ভিতু আকাশে নির্মম আঘাতে স্ফূলিঙ্গ উগরে ( নৈশব্দের গাছেরা কিছু দীর্ঘশ্বাস ঝুলিয়ে রেখেছে ) এই শূন্যতার শীর্ষে গরিমার এক গোলাপ জেগে। ঘুম বড়োই বিশ্বাসঘাতক যেখানে জেলখানা আমায় নিয়ে এসেছে যদিও আমার গোপন দালানে বেশ আস্পষ্টভাবে ওই অহংকারী ছোঁড়া গভীরভাবে নিজের জঙ্গলের ভেতর দিয়ে যাচ্ছে নাবিকদের আলোয় ঝলমলিয়ে যারা শব-সুন্দরী গড়ে তোলে ।
কেবল বাচ্চাদের বই পড়তে হবে। কেবল বাচ্চাদের বই পড়তে হবে, কেবল শিশুদের জিনিস ভালোবাসতে হবে, বড়োদের সবকিছু ছুঁড়ে ফেলে দিতে হবে দুঃখি চেহারা নিয়ে উঠে দাঁড়াবার পর । জীবন নিয়ে আমি অবসাদে মরে যাচ্ছি এতে এমন কিছু নেই যা আমি চাই, আর কোনো সুললিত জগত নেই । কাঠের এক মামুলি দোলনা ; অন্ধকার, উঁচু দেবদারু গাছের, অনেক দূরের বাগানে, দুলছে ; যা মনে রেখেছে জ্বরে আক্রান্ত রক্ত ।
