As The Woods Poem by Prayag Saikia

As The Woods



As the woods
Man shall one day implant man.
Perhaps the blazes of the age
Would only cease to press ahead
When the human-wood, too, begins to dwindle.

The trees, one day, shall speak as men:
You'd said you need our breath
Today we say it'syour breath that we require.
That very day man shall be man.


(Translated from Original Assamese by Krishna Dulal Barua)
