Joy Goswami

I HAVE BROUGHT THE SACRIFICIAL GOAT

I have brought the sacrificial goat
To the heap of grass, leaves and bark

He has forgotten his last beheading
But round his neck garland-like
            hangs a mark

I HAVE BROUGHT THE SACRIFICIAL GOAT

Joy  Goswami

I HAVE BROUGHT THE SACRIFICIAL GOAT

I HAVE BROUGHT THE SACRIFICIAL GOAT

I have brought the sacrificial goat
To the heap of grass, leaves and bark

He has forgotten his last beheading
But round his neck garland-like
            hangs a mark
