" "I wanted
to know all the bones in your spine, all
the pores of your skin,
tendrils of body hair.
To let
all of my skin, my hands,
ankles, shoulders, breasts,
even my shadow,
be forever imprinted
with whatever of you
is forever unknown of me.

বিবাহের অবিরাম বেদনা
বিবাহের অবিরাম বেদনা:
উরু আর জিভ, হে প্রিয়,
এর সঙ্গে বেশ ভারি,
তা দাঁতে স্পন্দিত হয়
আমরা আংশিদারীর চেষ্টা করি
কিন্তু ফিরিয়ে দেয়া হয়, হে প্রিয়,
প্রত্যেকে আর প্রত্যেকে
এটা হল প্রকাণ্ড হাঙর আর আমরা
তার পেটের ভেতরে
আনন্দ খুঁজি, কোনও আনন্দ
যা এর বাইরে জানা যাবে না
দুই বনাম দুই এর সিন্দুকের
মধ্যে এর অবিরাম বেদনা ।
Just when you seem to yourself nothing but a flimsy web of questions, you are given the questions of others to hold in the emptiness of your hands, songbird eggs that can still hatch if you keep them warm, butterflies opening and closing themselves in your cupped palms, trusting you not to injure their scintillant fur, their dust. You are given the questions of others as if they were answers to all you ask. Yes, perhaps this gift is your answer.
