Air

Guna Moran, Assam, India

 

Translated by Bibekananda Choudhury

 

 

Entering into the cavity of your heart

With your breath

Scouring the bottom of your heart 

I come out again

Transforming into your lukewarm night

 

You keep waiting

Extending both your hands

Through the open window

To touch the rain

I push the shimmering rain

Towards you

Turning into a whiff of air

 

In my heart too

Are countless water particles

Still I am yours

My only grief is

I could not turn into dulciana rain
