| | Would Anyone Now? Shamsur Rahman | | [Total Pages: 2] | Rahman Page 1 | | (Translated from Bengali by Shankar Sen) Would anyone now at this late hour stretch his hand to me? In the thickets around my recollection a deer weeps in sheer desolation. Dry leaves crushed inside my chest. The night like poison, bitter and sour. Undecided I stand, a culvert close at hand. I turn my eyes and see the culvert falls like a crumbling tower. Shall I happily enter this homestead? On a doorframe I hit my head. I stand outside my face dejected. Baring sharp fangs the wolves glower. | | | |
