I have found some love
unconsciously; I have furnished
some flower-baskets with conviction.
In the intense heat of this summer-
The water has dried up,
And the corridors of the sky have not yet fallen,
But you are eager to understand
Euclidean geometry.
I bow down-
May the water-deity Jaleshwar descend
with His meditation,
Becausethere is still much left
of the flower's imagery.
(Note: Jaleshwar: Hindu god of water)
