All I Want
(an English translation of Ek Have Maj by Indira Sant)
All I want, all I want
Is a sorrow, whose wound
Forever remains fresh, sending
Excruciating pain reverberating through
Heal, it mustn’t, for I need
No balm for that wound
No stitches to hold it together
And nobody to gently blow cool air
Scald me, it must
The blue-red flame
Unknowingly, in the darkness
Will bring me to you
-Indira Sant
