Translated into English by Latha Ramakrishnan(*First Draft)
FOAM
Stars are but
those soap-foam bubbles
blown by Moon
So an imagination
blown by a child
and written by
someone
I vaguely
remember
Even memories are
mere foam
of the waves of
remembrance
Dreams are the
foam-bubbles
of sleep
Flowers, the
foam-bubbles
of plants.
In the boiling
milk
Joy surging as
foam
Only because the
virgin sea keeps
foaming non-stop
it remains blue.
In the tea-cup
the surging foam
as the hot tea is
made to turn warm
The foam that
surges
when Beer is
poured in the cup
prove tasty and
soothing to the core
Words are the
foam of poetry
The cascade
writes in foams
the evergreen
song of mountain-woods.
Like the wild
stream that
with surging foam
dashing itself on
the rocks
and so washing
and rinsing itself,
Banging against
Age
and causing foams
of grey hair
forever
the sullied river
called Life
keeps soaking and
cleansing itself
all the while.
