(30 March 1942 - / Amaravati, Maharashtra / India)

poet Vasant Abaji Dahake
What do you think this poem is about?

Moon

Like a wild bull the moon
charges headlong
through green unearthly thickets.
Sharp-teeth-torn, the water
shivers all night.

All night
a broadsword strokes,
from base to nape, the spine.
