Prior to opening a new world

Sk. Kamarul Islam

It was just suffocating.
There must be fresh air outside,
I thought and opened the window.

Delirious heat gushed into the room suddenly,
I was totally startled
Before I got burned.

For a little cool breeze;
A simple desire,
Being ignorant of the actual world,
Like a fool
I took myself into a perilous disaster.

Yet, it was the opening of a window only.

If I had unlocked the wide door
If that bad wind
Driven me from the refuge
And expelled me out of my tiny shelter
And the entrance behind 
Got closed right then and there...

I shivered
At the thought of
A scene of lively burning.

Even now, today,
There are various current
Flowing outside my world,
But me now closed and alert from within.
