As It Develops

Santanu Pradhan

They searched about
To play
Without any equipment
But some hope

Between two huge distant trees
Drew a line of partition
To constitute a play,
To frame a kabbadi match

Without any end line
Or side boundary
They started.
Gradually from four
They built a team and dozens viewer

For a time an inventive
Society developed thereby.
Settled a population and
Framed some management, disciplines
For a moment it existed
As self-dependent, self-sufficient
Sovereign community;

After they went tired
Left the place away
Leaving life in winged dust
Crawling soil and rippling branches
To continue the play...
