Vacant Shelf

Those two lines on my in-box
are transferring as a shock wave
towards my fading memories
of an eventful college life.
"Sino died on 30th December
due to blood clot in brain"

I knew you as a student
who loved computer books
who studied beyond syllabus
who was the most knowledgeable
but who could never score tests
and who made your own preferences.

Now, on the turn of this year
while you lay still somewhere
with clotted blood on brain,
I cannot forget your emotions
on the forced occasion in which
you had to sell your beloved books.

Your memories will be cherished
as a shelf with no belongings.
