Alien Poem by Aneek Chatterjee

Leaves are brown
All leaves are brown here,
in summer fall or winter
human skin

Branches are white
All branches are white here
Nude branches are white
human bone

Clouds are black
Floating clouds are always black
always …
Torn hair of raped sister

Dig deep into the soil
Any time, any festival
liquid comes out, strange,
human blood

I do not know this land
I do not know any tree here,
soil water cloud
floating a stupid alien
