Empty Space BY AMRITA PRITAM TRANSLATED FROM THE PUNJABI BY D.H. TRACY & MOHAN TRACY There were two kingdoms only: the first of them threw out both him and me. The second we abandoned. Under a bare sky I for a long time soaked in the rain of my body, he for a long time rotted in the rain of his. Then like a poison he drank the fondness of the years. He held my hand with a trembling hand. “Come, let’s have a roof over our heads awhile. Look, further on ahead, there between truth and falsehood, a little empty space.”
What a beautiful connection between the marvelous abstract and the poem.
So glad you introduced me to this poet ansdnovelist I did not know! 🙏
