Vasant Abaji Dahake

My Burning Chest

On my burning chest I suffer the monsoon’s first showers,
across the film of blood on my eyes a blue light spreads
and in my flesh-marrow-skin the black birds flash
their emerald wings.

MY BURNING CHEST

My Burning Chest

On my burning chest I suffer the monsoon’s first showers,
across the film of blood on my eyes a blue light spreads
and in my flesh-marrow-skin the black birds flash
their emerald wings.
