They were clustered at the gate talking effusively about Priya’s birth
who smiled at them being a goner.
They waited for her monosyllabic answer when the river was in spate
and the sky was turning faintly opalescent.
She loved a man who had once ploughed in the river Mahanadi
in the hope of a harvest that would be self-referential.
She failed in the first attempt and then jumped from a roadster –
only a radio set owned by a complete pillock could cushion her.
A new scene was unfolding at Balasore where Priya was born
much before slatternly women full of shame died in their jaunts.
Priya loved and shunned till all jaw-dropping stuff soared away in the wind
And came down to the earth in a mournful sound-balloon showing a puny mind.
