alone on the path

meeting

only flowers

पथ पर अकेले

मिलते

केवल फूल

butterfly flying

over there over here over there

over here again

तितली उड़ रही

वहाँ यहाँ वहाँ

और फिर यहाँ

moon

on the lake

a happy face

चन्द्रमा

झील पर एक

हँसमुख चेहरा

flash, then

thunder

shakes leaves

चमक, फिर

गर्जन

पत्ते हिला रही

rain forest

every tree cut down

shallows my breath

वर्षा-वन

मेरी साँस उथला हो जाती है

हर वृक्ष के कटने पर
