(249) Tomari asa patha
Your arrival path—
I am watching that.
You haven't heard my story;
Here, You did not yet reach.
Today, my heart
Is like a monsoon screwpine flower.[1]
My fragrance dissipates;
Desolate, I kiss the air.
My fragrance floats
Around the world, across the sky.
The pain of fallen pollen—
Will You not hear that tale, oh Lord?

A bittersweet lament... the pangs of separation beautifully likened to the plight of the male screwpine flower.
