The Palavers of Parrots

The palavers of parrots
and the keening of doves
rend the stillness
of the spring morning,
calling me

prayers.

This Life

This life is a house
that has two doors:
we enter through one,
through the other we leave.
How long shall we linger
in relative darkness
before we emerge
into full light?

Nagna says: into the fullness
of the night.

--Nagna Devidas (Donald Traxler)

यह जीवन एक घर है
कि दो दरवाजे हैं:
हम एक के माध्यम से प्रवेश करते हैं,
दूसरे के द्वारा हम छोड़ देते हैं
हम कब तक रुकेंगे
सापेक्ष अंधेरे में
हम उभरने से पहले
पूर्ण प्रकाश में?
नग्न कहते हैं: पूर्णता में
रात की।
