Moms' Pix




          Nidhu Bhusan Das

Rini-Jhini, my nieces, born to Soma
So sweet are they, I didn’t know till the other day
When she mailed the pix, from the coast
Of the Arabian Sea, soon after we
Discovered we are siblings,
The fact, mysteriously hidden, so long.

O God, that this could happen, a sort of
Oedipus myth! We’re believers, Soma and I,
And, therefore, have no doubt
That it’s true, the discovery.
Uttam from Heaven looks down, happy
To see Soma stoically bears the brunt.

The twins, exactly like my mom,
Are good at learning, reports Soma,
And can cook assorted food.
I long for the food, moms would serve
Affectionately, sitting beside, for me to eat.
