Burn

Watch the fire
burn through the rain
turn to smoke
concentrate
pool and dip
cover my ankles
swathe me in wool
Block the flames
I burn.

Reminded of a Tamil film song of the... mid-80s think. Not getting the exact first line! But wonderful paradox of images :-)

हर धुंए के बीच
उठती है लपटें,
चोरी छिपे
जलते हैं लिबाज
कर डालते हैं
कुछ ही पल में
अपने सवालो के सामने
हमें अधनंगा.

@Gopal Singh: Thank you for a most intense response. It's always a shocking pleasure to have people respond so intensely to your work. Thank you again :)
