A Procession Of Women Poem by umashankar manthravadi
A Procession Of Women
a procession of women
wrapped against the backs of their men
on the backs of motorcycles
hot languid air
road smoke ahead
a shepherdess from the desert
hawks newspapers
till the light changes
cowdust hour
A fantastic poem, Umashankar. The brevity and imagery create an enormous picture that stays in the mind. The wording is superb and shows a sytrong craftsmanship at work.
