Katauta - Shreeram Shrestha

 Katauta

- Shreeram Shrestha 

1.

Looking around

The jasmine plant

Faded smell.

2.

Man´s earnings

Living dead

Digested onesalf .

3.

Lost senses

Scattered life

Pacing with responsibities .

4.

Emerges doubt

Breaking the whole tree

The path damaged .

5.

Uncovering the earth

Emerges the bud

God ! one´s own life .

6.

Looking for the feet

Hiding in the burrow

Shaken mind .

7.

Stroke the match

Thrusting the firewood

Refused to burn .

8.

Earned a profit

Ran biting the tongue

Water over sand .

9.

Striking the aim

Turned the bluish eyes

Fell when strove to protect .
