      Introduction by Laifungbam Debabrata Roy

      love

      a fortunate woman

      like a child

      that cane of the policeman!

      fragrance of peace

      victorious worm

      the fish were fighting in the aquarium

      this night

      mother will be ragged no more

      when the curtains go up

      unbind me

      be brave, sister
