Cool Thickets

Cool thickets
leaves the colour of clouds
cane groves breaking the sunlight-
but you've forgotten-
forgotten the River Narmada as well
how we washed
in it afterwards

(Anonymous, Sattasai)
Translated by Andrew Schelling

Dark smoking heavens

Those arbours of vines

Poems from the Sanskrit

Scarlet betel-nut juice

O friend, there is no end to my joy!

The Forest of Love

Some kiss we want

The Instruments
