Les Nupar (Jul 2017)
Les Nupar’s canopy is like the Sunderbans
While Ubh-Suhk is the falling shadow
Of darkness that falls like Niagara and flows
Like the Ganges...
Patiently down to her heels
While adding length and longevity
To the cherry blossom hued kingdom...
The shadow reigns,
An essence of femininity
The red fabric which it reigns
And the fiery tilak a symbol of power
This poem captures the image of a girl with very long tresses, I saw at the Library. It was for the first time I saw such long tresses. They went down to her heels. It was 'muse-ical' making her the very causality of this poem.
