 A POEM BY

G.S.DHAYALAN

Translated into English by Latha Ramakrishnan(*First Draft)

While flying

upon which tree

the bird leaves its

body.



The road bustling notwithstanding

the dove goes past

without haste.



The birds flying in the sky

leaving no trails

upon seeing fruits

would leave the beak’s imprint.

On the skin of that standing in front

due to small little fights

Huilding nests with carefully chosen fibres

Hatching eggs

While flying low upon the water-flow

While flying up above

beyond the cloud

The seeds sprayed

crossing continent

growing into a tree

leaving their marks, flying on and on

the birds would fly with trails unseen.
