Village Woman Poem by Utpal Thaker

Village Woman

Rating: 5.0


the village woman at mustard fields by the lake
that day took a detour with a handful of noon

spilled pot wet
her torso shining
she was restoring her breath
under a boulder of tryst

from a trail through the field
when i neared her
she pranced at the crushing leaves
& paced away tittering
her swaying hip
lurching brass on the hip
i mumbled over her ringing anklets
she arched and smiled
waved and turned back

the woman of the village
faded in the vast of yellow bloom
back in a clutch of an unnamed demon
who saps their limbs
and drains their time
