Dark One,

how can I sleep?

Since you left my bed

the seconds drag past like epochs,

each moment

a new torrent of pain.

I am no wife,

no lover comes through the darkness—

lamps, houses, no comfort.

On my couch

the embroidered flowers

pierce me like thistles,

I toss through the night.

Yet who would believe my story?

That a lover

bit my hand like a snake,

and the venom bursts through

and I’m dying?

I hear

the peacock’s faraway gospel,

the nightingale’s love song,

the cuckoo—

thickness on thickness folds through the sky,

clouds flash with rain.

Dark One, is there no love

in this world

that such anguish continues?

Mirabai waits for a

glance from your eye.
