THE WATERMELON CART - Translation of KHARBOOJADA GAADI ಖರ್ಬೂಜದ ಗಾಡಿ

THE WATERMELON CART

(from Avadha 1986) 

You can forget everything

but how can you forget

the bullock-cart piled high

with watermelons that

disappeared

round the corner in the street?

 

The cart of our

many memories and

many dreams,

in this crowded street

as we were watching –

where did it come from

where did it go –

even before we could think of these,

it disappeared!!

So quickly!
