POEM: ANIMA BISWAS
TRANSLATION " SWAPAN KUMAR DAS
Adroit
As if from the Stone Age
I engaged myself to engrave your figure
in a mountain rock.
And in the process I felt the softness of your body
and the warmth of you.
I did not notice how many springs passed by,
and how many flowers bloomed and shed away.
I did not even listen the singing of the birds
and when they paused.
I only engrossed in picking the gems and jewels
of your body from the extreme depth of seven seas
like a adroit diver
