ACROSS
DELUGE
INDIRA SANT
Body wildly on the move
Buffetted about
Cyclone of anxiety rising.
Cotton bud bursting
After mind separated in fragment
Body and mind having flown by
I steadied, concentrated here
Green sprout tending
There across deluge.
Water hard to contain in eyes
Still passed beyond eyes
The hearts earth blessed manifold motherliness.
Translated from Marathi by Shrikant
