“she only dreamt of the sea
night after night –    algae and seaweed.
from "Truth is Mute”
Sujata Bhatt, Poppies in Translation

“And then the light,
light rippling with the wind
across everything – even through the darkest
parts of the forest.
I remember the sea at the end of the trail –
The brightness of the whitest stones –
Such simple things – I remember –”
Sujata Bhatt, Poppies in Translation

“I have become the purest part of myself. from "Self-Portrait as a Soul”
Sujata Bhatt, Poppies in Translation
