Arun Kamal (India)

Anxiety

I fear the night
A heavy rock begins to oppress me
​And my breath gets trapped
I hear dumbeats somewhere far in the distance
They are carrying someone for sacrifice
It's terribly still all around and a dense fog
Any news may come any moment.

I am living on counting up each of my breath
Anything can happen any moment
My boat is sining my house getting under
My roads link ration water all cut off.

The earth is cracking under my feet.

Translated from Hindi by Kiran
