(Translated from the Hindi by Rahul Soni)
The courtesan whom
Kalidas loved
filled
Ujjaini
like musk
An auspicious
concurrence
Ujjaini
Kalidas
musk
sometimes
the stars
are so aligned
Now who
comes looking
asking
Mahakaal himself—
Is this her city,
she
who was
everywhere
like musk
The courtesan
whom Kalidas
loved
has she
passed by
this road
Wait, stop,
whose
corpse
is this
floating
by
on
the Kshipra
