Across the Atlantic
grounded firmly
is one end
of an invisible bridge
traversing which
the global Bolojians
experience
release and relief 

         Through
         collection of thoughts
         words woven 
         in cantos, sonnets
         rhymes, haikus

Where she*
as her poetic self  

       - flirting, teasing, testing
         seducing, enthusing, stimulating -

the reflective connoisseur
of loving words
with unflinching patience
skillfully
reads, reviews, improves

Like 
         a gardener pulling weeds      
         a mother nursing life
         a guru instilling awareness

It's through
her devotion to poesy
that our scattered thoughts
become a bouquet of verses
what we see on Boloji
as poetry.
