~Krishna Bhakta Shrestha~
Translated by Yuyutsu Sharma
A vulture’s first
peck is at the eyes,
the eyes that see
the iridescence of the spectrum of life.
Haphazardly
it pounces and snaps,
a vulture’s first
dash is always at the eyes.
Dancing over
the chest of a festering corpse,
a vulture strikes
anarchic,
a vulture’s
peck is at the eyes.
With the very eyes
it focuses and assaults,
a vulture’s first
peck is at the eyes.
