Pratip Sen Gupta's verse takes you through a fascinating journey, delving into the deepest ebb of love and longing.

When we’ve done all that
and all that is so little
let us keep that silence burning
all the way down the middle

in our mutual silence
a void is a foetus in your womb

amidst the melting candles in the room

bear me then with trepidation
bear of me our mutual silence and sin
forgetting is buried under that tombstone
and all that keeps us longing deep within
