Guna Moran, Assam, India
Translated by Bibekananda Choudhury
Entering into the cavity of your heart
With your breath
Scouring the bottom of your heart
I come out again
Transforming into your lukewarm night
You keep waiting
Extending both your hands
Through the open window
To touch the rain
I push the shimmering rain
Towards you
Turning into a whiff of air
In my heart too
Are countless water particles
Still I am yours
My only grief is
I could not turn into dulciana rain
