NATURE AND
WOMAN
-
Manas Bakshi (India)
Soaking up sunrays
On the sea-beach
She wakes up
To a cell-phone call.
An unfinished story of love
Seems churned up.
Gathering sea foams in mind
Tinker with love's sundown profile;
The moon rises a bit early---
Her face, not the moon's
Reflected on the watery seashore;
Smell of her flesh
Makes trees undulate,
The wind too blows wild---.
Nature and woman
Start again enjoying their
Snakes and ladders game.
