Rasa

RASA three poems translated from Nepali by Mukul Dahal

Death's Demise

One day
Death too will pass away.

The day
entire lives of the world die;
death too will pass away
that day.

Culture

A man stepped into
a dark cave.

Along with him
entered his kins.

Later,
none came out.

Betrayal

You offered me a flower
which I clung to my bosom.
But the flower turned into a bomb
all at once and burst.

I was mutilated.
