Sleeping Woman

Are you asleep? That”s better. Sleep.

I don”t want to wake you up, woman

Sleep.

At this cold-stricken night

If I die bleeding with cold-stroke

I don”t care, I”ll sacrifice myself

With winter-noose on my neck

Still I”ll not wake you, woman

I”ll not make electricity

Churning your warm body.

Woman, are you asleep? Sleep.

Your sleeping body is like Rodin”s sculpture

It”s exquisitely unique.

In this deadly cold winter

You remain unmoving stone like Ahalya.
