This poem of Sadanand Rege is translated by Dilip Chitre
An alloy of iron and bronze
Brushes a menstruating mane against the Sun . . .
Eagle's wings blaze out in the feet
Controlling a sky that slips out of a bowl of sound . . .
The stag from the moon stands on the cliff of the eyes
Caressing the downy storm in the blood . . .
A prolific neighing cracks the sky open
And a jewel gleams in the raised hood of the fifth note
An alloy of iron and bronze
Brushes a menstruating mane against the Sun . . .
Eagle's wings blaze out in the feet
Controlling a sky that slips out of a bowl of sound . . .
The stag from the moon stands on the cliff of the eyes
Caressing the downy storm in the blood . . .
A prolific neighing cracks the sky open
And a jewel gleams in the raised hood of the fifth note
