[Translation] Nishabdataa

Craftily,
he dissolves into eternity
as I try to touch
Unexpectedly,
sending a shiver down my spine

Like gossamer spider-webs,
in one breath,
stealing the sunshine and skies
from long winding roads,
from roots through the stem
he grows into the leaves.
The music of solitude

The day
I shatter into a thousand pieces,
like a tight strangle,
like sudden thunder,
he may wrap me in his tentacles.

Till then, he is quiet.
My silence.
