Outside my
window
As the clouds
mass black and gray
Women dressed in radiant saris,
Dance joyously
under a Mahogany tree
The rainbow colors
of their six yards
collide and melt
spark like the
thunder and lightning
crossing, each other.
Peacocks, Cuckoos, Weavers
tiptoe in ebullient delight ...sing, scream, balancing
and then....blush, in dazed air
A mingling of
erotic, sensual, inviting spectre
swells in wine-dripping air;
It's a mosaic work of art in a day of lightnings
for all the world to see.
Wow! Beyond the 6 yards of flying fabric, saris fly like feathered wings. How gorgeous to imagine the two together and enlivened--not subdued by lightning and rain. I see it all.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous writing Panchali :D absolutely love the images of rainbow colors as they collide and melt spark like thunder and lightening.
