Ashutosh Dubey 

  • Poem 1: ​Kiss
    ​
  • Poem 2: Now a Body
    ​

Kiss

The first kiss of desire
is like a knock at the door

All the intermediary kisses
 betray body's fever

The kiss following the surge
is the real kiss of love

and is  averse to any stopping .
 
Translated by Rashmi mishra
Now a Body

Now a body'd have caused a splash,
But it was a shadow that fell
Into the well,
Noiselessly,
Invisible, except to that one person
Who was really looking.
Then he turned to leave
Without a word,
And without his shadow.

Translated by  Shiv Kishore Tewari
