A Document of Promise.
(Transcreation of the poem(ପ୍ରତିଶୃତିର ଦସ୍ତାବିଜ)by Kumudini Jee
(From the Anthology-A Handful of Memories)
No,
Not today
Don't look at me today
As on this day
I look so fresh and charming
My body wears a rosy tint
I look so fascinating
In the drape of yellow silk
All are mesmerized by my beauty.
But, go to that far
Where my listless body
Would be
Embracing nakedness only
Getting restless
To repair a broken wall
And to mend a broken mirror,
I want a promise from you
On that hour
Can you give me
The coldness of Kashmir in Summer
Or the mother's warmth in Winter
And be a sea like heart of my father?
Bu şiiri puanla
