By Sri Lekhak
Looking for an unoccupied space in the vast cosmos seeking to set foot in I made my nest warp and weft criss-cross It's broken by a voice singing off beat Remain I remain all along a hollow man of an empty house!
* Translated from Manipuri by Thoithoi O’Cottage. The original poem appeared in Sri Lekhak’s Hingliba Meesinggee Catalogue (The Catalogue of Living People), published in 1995 by Sahitya Seva Samiti, Kakching, Manipur.
