Rajendra Kishore Panda

The Height of the Dwarf

We know your game.

Nothing is above your head,
no one.
The planets, the galaxies, the sky,
all are at the height
of your shoulders.

Nothing is below your feet,
no one.
The nether world is at the height
of your toes.

No one is above your head
No one is below your feet.

Your sole is above your head
Your head is below your sole.

We know your game.

The Height of the Dwarf

We know your game.

Nothing is above your head,

The planets, the galaxies, the sky,

Nothing is below your feet,

The nether world is at the height

No one is above your head
No one is below your feet.

Your sole is above your head
Your head is below your sole.

We know your game.
