The Sea of Humanity

Must read

 
Tanka Upreti

 Nearing the state of being a flood,
Then cracking her clear cheeks
against the cliff
the river reached deep down me
deserting her usual course.
 
Spirits charged,
We are swirling and rolling further
lashing against steeper cliffs
till heads bleed.
 
Yonder awaits
the sea of humanity
beyond the cliff.
 
Trans: Manu Manjil
