Rainfalls reminiscent of monsoons of my previous birth
The wet earth lingers to seize my footprints
Footprints intend to take my stead
Even in this new birth, I am still myself
Recollecting river’s flow
Mapoksida II is from the book of poems, Atiyagi Maya by Thawan, currently unpublished. As a
translator, this is an attempt at presenting the poem using visual imagery.
