Objectivity

A person who has been thrown on rail tracks to die

Objectivity

Regaining consciousness in a trickle

Hands & feet tied and mouth gagged on a railroad track

The silent whole

Shirt and trousers daubed in dew

Whining crickets drone

A rural gloom studded with night-chilled stars

Can’t shout as mouth is wool of spew

Ribs and shinbone smitten �" not possible to move

Stiff stonechips bite at back

How beautiful is the world and peace everywhere allround calm

A pinhead light is rushing on rail route piercing the one-eyed dark

( Translation of Pratyaksha )
