This is excerpted from the article Zone of strife, Lyla Bavadam in the Frontline magazine, Volume 35, Number 01, January 04-19, 2018.
The one who dazzles --
have you seen that one?
Upon him look!
A sleepless stream in
search of him I run,
A restless brook.
In far off woods, a
lonely pine, I stood
Till he appeared,
my woodcutter, and
came to cut the wood.
His fire I feared,
Yet though he burn my
logs, behold, I shine,
My ashes wine.
