Samsara
Synopsis:
Eighteen poems depicting Indian life
Book Excerpt:
Stone
A man splits a coconut over a stone.
Sweet milk flows from the hemispheres.
When the stone, unscathed, leaves
the man’s hand, it’s the air that cracks
during the long hurtle toward the woman’s skull.
Her daughters wail behind her,
tongues trilling against the wind.
