It’s day-break
It’s hotter under the sun

A woman with a bundle of
sticks on her head
is proceeding towards the town

Along side fields
The imprints come up
of her barefooted walk
with a confidence
that tomorrow’s bread
is in her reach

Bread that’s bread only
and nothing else
No sensation, no frustration, no expiration
All assimilated in the bread

When there will be bid for sticks
Maybe people bid for
that woman also

She won’t understand anything
Her total consciousness
revolves around sticks
Whatever else happening beyond
she cares a damn

Attached with every piece of stick
her imagination
has become a complete resolution
like a bundle
