Love Tunes

Kishore Pahadi
Poet Kishore Pahadi

Let the quarrel
linger as always

That, now and then
I could shred your ego that has shot up like pine
into a sharpened pencil stub
And
With the same
scribble 'hi','hello' and 'miss you"
to the confines of inboxed relationship
once again.

That's why
the old calendars have been cautiously stacked
in the lowermost shelf
once in while
the old dates jump
days
gasp helter skelter
and make a noisy humdrum
With that humdrum I want to sing
again

Let the quarrels
linger as always.

Translated from the Nepali by Saguna Shah
