Longing

I have deep longing
For a flower
That would bloom
In blood.

I’m longing for
A that path – which
Ends to the red sun

I’ve been longing
For a pen
That would give rise to a lyric.

I still long for Prabaran full moon
‘Cause the Earth would
Bath in the water of moonbeam.

Translated by Siddique Mahmudur Rahman
