 A POEM BY 

K.STALIN

Translated into English by Latha Ramakrishnan(*First Draft)

SEASON A SEEDLING

The spot where I took shelter

in rain

happened to be a small shrine.

At that spot

where the traces of rain thoroughly gone

a seedling

upon which I dried my kerchief

all drenched

has now grown.

As bearing testimony to the season

beneath it which sways in wind

spread as shade

the chill of the rain that is not.

On a day later on

when I happen to choose

this same location

It might have stored

amid leaves and branches

Today’s Sun.
