“I drew the sky”
Kh.Suglegmaa
1966- Mongolian
translated by Sh.Tsog and Simon Wickham-Smith

I drew the sky,
The sun, the clouds and then the wind.
I drew you flying over there.
I didn’t draw how you landed then.

I drew the sea,
The fish, the gulls and then the waves.
I drew you going under there.
I didn’t draw how I saved you then.
