Old Age
By Ujjwal Dutta
The coldness of old age.
Appearing rarely now on the stage.
Both hopeful and fearful of the dwindling flame,
With nothing worthwhile now to claim.
A dark damp space is enough for their yellow soul.
Always reminded of the insignificant role.
Even to nurse their dried stomach
The wealthy coffer feels a lack.
