Translated Poem : Four Pieces

~Bhim Darshan Rokka~
Translation : Maya Watson

1.
The sky of stars
distant hope calls
and I catch the fragrance
of the yet unblossomed bud.

2.
The heart carries me with it
childhood plays tag
whoever I lay my eyes upon
he draws me in.

3.
I drink, yes that’s my habit
intoxicated immersed, unconscious my story
who has been violated, come close
for I am young, for I am vital.

4.
After every star’s been counted
and every breath’s become a sigh,what more?
Now love that you are with me,
and now that I have called you mine.
