She’s a mother now the dark one
Her body’s gaunt a single flower clasped
tightly unwithered in the vase
Out of green leaf shoot up the round-stemmed blue lilies
Shoals of fish in dark backwaters in the rising flood
like the eyes of women diving into tanks
The coolness the cruelty of the man on the bank
Ashamed she comes to hide and play among us
