Claudia Coutu Radmore / क्लॉडिया कूतो

midnight lake
watching stars
fall into themselves
मध्यरात्रि की झील
देख रही तारे
अपने आप में गिर रहे





with a friend
listening to what
the rain has to tell us
मित्र के साथ
सुन रही हमें
वर्षा क्या कह रही






abandoned farm
the wild pear
in bloom
छोड़ा हुआ खेत
जंगली नाशपाती
खिल रही





summer evening
the smell of sun
lingers on bricks
ग्रीष्म की संध्या
धूप की सुगंध
ईंटों में ठहरी हुई





no trace of it
after it falls
snowflake
कोई चिह्न नहीं उसका
गिरने के बाद
हिमलव
