Forgotten Fertility Myth Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

a deep depression
carries monsoon again
its raining
five days at a stretch
day and night
she is wet

her chastity
waiting to be ploughed
soil so soft
to be mould in creation

plough hard
my peasant friend
pour dropp to form seed

your personal rain
would make her corny
every dream
of your personal cloud
would make her smile festive
fertile soil seeks seedling

cultivate you the peasant
cultivate hard
cultivate with care
cultivate with unending passion
She waits to bear all the pain
for a pleasure of exposing a life again
