THE FIRST CREATION

I was a formless I

The I by its perception transformed itself into the waters,
And you by your perception erupted into a flame of fire
And the flare of the fire floated over the waters,
But that’s the tale of prehistoric times.

That was the thirst of the earthly I,
I slaked my thirst from the river that was you,
That was the vivid dream of an earthly I,
That discovered you among the tangled woods,
It was the fragrance of our bodies, yours and mine,
And that is the truth about creation.

The creation of the universe came much later.

Translated by Pritish Nandi
