Letter to Charles Correa

 

This was indeed

my explicit intention

to leave a blank page

facing the few words

 

Exactly as you wrote

the opposite bank

of the river where we burn

our losses

 

No I did not write this

in another language

might it be not mine

still untranslatable

 

This evening is of India

the incense stroking

the grave lips of Buddha

smiling with friendship

 

India, 2011
