I Learn Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

I Learn

This morning
words whispered in my ear—
give us a little space to thrive,
so we may become a poem.
See your daughter,
how she becomes a woman—
just so, we need space
to lift our heads
into the sky.
I murmured: teach me, my words,
how to fulfill your desire—
to stand a little apart,
to be within the crowd,
yet remain alone,
and appear
only when you must.
