An erasure of “I will not let you leave” by Rabindranath Tagore
……………………………………midday
…….. is getting more and more intense.
Midday gusts waft
An old beggar woman. her rags shade
the banyan tree.
………………………….. tired slumber
stretches a night void of
…….life.
… in my house there is no rest
Source & Method
In these erasures, these are poets whom I greatly admire and respect. I attempted to bring out a side of them usually not seen, a humanity and a humor which is within them.
