Vijay Nair transcreates a poem, originally written in Malayalam by Sohrab:
It’s a Poem
that’s climbing the stairs,
inebriated.
A while ago, it was at the grocer’s
Before that, at the Town Hall
It wears silence as a virtue
Keeps laughter at bay
Doesn’t bend knees or wash face
Doesn’t know how to sit
Its sprawled on the road now,
after a plunge down the building,
in a thousand pieces…
