… Schlaf

ein Gletscher, jahrtausendealt
meine Hand.

Und in ihr ein Ziehn ... wohin?

Halt! Da-Greift etwas
Das

fühlt sich an

wie jeder
wie peitschendes
Leder wie Schnee

Translations:

Language: lushai

...Mutmu

Vur tlang, kum sang a upa
Ka kut hi.

Pawt tu a awm...khawi lamah nge le?

Ngawi teh! Chu – ka khawih fuh
Eng emaw ni

a an ber chu

eng emaw ni tak
savun talhfiak
leh vur sur a ang

Language: nepali

... निद्रामा

हजारौं वर्ष पुरानो हिमनदी
आफ्नै हात।

त्यसमा कस्तो आकर्षण देखेर यसले छुँदैछ?

पर्ख!
च्याप्पै पो समात्यो केहीले

यस्तो लाग्छ
पिटिरहेछ मलाई हिउँ जस्तो
छालाको चिसो चाबुकले।

Translated into Nepali by Rajendra Bhandari

... निद्रा

हजारौं वर्ष पुरानो हिउ नदी झैं
के छोइरहेछ मेरो हातले।

फेरि त्यसको आकर्षण कस्तो<

रोक! लौ कुनै चीजले समाते जस्तो

भान हुन्छ

प्रत्येकपल्ट
चाबुकको पिटाइले छाला तर्सिए जस्तै
हिउलाई छोएर सिरिङ्ग भए जस्तै।

Translated into Nepali by Sudha Rai

Language: lithuanian

Miegas

ledynas, tūkstančio metų amžiaus
mano ranka.

Ją veikia nežinoma trauka...

Palauk! Aklas stvėrimasis už kažko –

jausmas,

lyg čaižytų kito oda,
oda kaip sniegas

Language: english

… Slumber

a glacier, millennia-old

my hand.

And inside of it a pull …where to?

Hold on! A-Grasp of something

That

feels like

any body

like whipping

leather like snow

Language: french

... Sommeil

un glacier, millénaire

ma main.

Et dans ma main un tiraillement… vers où ?

Stop ! Là, quelque chose

Ça

on dirait

comme quiconque

comme du cuir

fouettant comme neige
