Exhalation:Narendra Patil

Narendra Patil


Exhalation

‘Merely an exhalation’
Circumstances
 have slapped down a suit
on the burning thoughts
in my mind!
They’ve put all burning minds
In custody.
Incarcerated
All gardens of dreams.
But how long can this bird
Remain in this dungeon
Whose very walls tremble
With his every exhalation?


Translated by Shanta Gokhale
