On A Rocky Tree Poem by Vasant Abaji Dahake

On A Rocky Tree

Rating: ★2.9


On a rocky tree a mynah,
on a rocky road a steamroller,
the white-hot afternoon
setting a bronze bust on fire.

A handsome stallion bred from steel
keeps galloping across an endless plain,
arrested by his bridle.

[Translated by Ranjit Hoskote]
