The Sound Of Sweeping.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Sound Of Sweeping....



early morning
what i hear is the sound of
sweeping

when i look out from my window
i see this old woman
sweeping the ground
stooping

finding the dead leaves and
some grass
making a heap and then
burning all these
into ashes

she sits down under the mango tree
waiting for its fruiting

soon, soon,
somewhere her gaze follows the smoke
which finds its way into
the heavens....
