Pushpa Khanal
When I grew up
I started understanding
The depth of relationship
I have been raising
Purple colors
In my courtyard
My wall calendar revolves
Making 365 circles;
My eyes run and run
Here and there
Crossroads
This has continued for centuries
There are ….
Winds
Storms
And rains;
I have been waiting for you silently
You must come anyhow
In my courtyard
This year….
When Gomphrena globosa blooms
Translated by Yadav Joshi
Such exquisite lines cloaking thoughts of infinity and longing.
