Bhagiratha’s Bounty and Other poems-3

English Translation: T.S. Chandra Mouli

Telugu Original : Kandukuri Sreeramulu

 

3.Rose Water
           
Delight
descends from sky
as raindrop
landing in pearl oyster
not sure if it becomes
a pearl or not—
but
a tear
that rolls down
from layers of hurt soul
lands in pageant of crusades
a ball of flames
becomes incense on embers!
