The Old Housemaid Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

The Old Housemaid



And she was there
At the brink of the water
Washing utensils
Humming a song
Incoherent and in a low voice

And she gathers
The shining utensils into
A plastic tub
And holds it at her waist

And she stands on the stairs
Watching the sun going down

No one is there who can lift
The tub and take it inside

It is hard work for a housemaid
Reaching her seventy
