Hunting knife While getting on the boat at Shangu river, The glaring of the olive dressed people toward us... At the opposite of a tempered sun Our shadow gets shaken, Then our hunting knives get sweated What if we got on the hand of spy After crossing the colorful Stone kingdom, We get stop at the last of a river in front of an amazing water fall The sky was getting red, it is evening Shakna Mro makes us stand in front of a stateless nature! Ice-Factory We got an amazing night at Thanchi Market At the upper floor of a duplex shop the night was settled down over a torch light. Again, the word's of Shakna Mro about Barma travel we were looking at him with his own Bangla, he was seems to Krama at that time. A forest cock cried out in the kitchen. At that night there was no meat on the table Only we were hearing cloud's sound from the ice-factory. We and the sky We look at the sky in our isolated pages we look at the sky while tortoise warms itself under the sun. We look at the sky rather bearing our achievement or carrying exhaustions of being defeated. All those heaven words come from the sky death thought is also related with the sky. We haven't been there where there is no sky even there remains no breath-flower-air. A little piece of sky remains inside our eyes Peculiar starry mind has taken the sky over its heart Silent mind knows the sky; but we don't !
