UNCHAPERONED

Unchaperoned Woman
Rhythm of her Earth in her steps
Smell of Rain in Breath
An unleashed River

Unchaperoned Woman
Flows through deep forest as leaves speak
In hushed tones, Descends blue mountain,
To dip soul in waters of Silence
Stars reincarnate as Indigo flowers
By the fence of horizon, she picks one, only one

Unchaperoned Woman
Wanders in yellow misty dawns along blurred path
Melts into gold of rising sun
A hot desert wind shall blow, for her
To stop by the deciduous leaves and Breathe

Unchaperoned Woman
Becomes a ripple is the Lake,
By the emerald fields, a lightening blue arc
Across the sky, She pauses by the tamarind tree
To infuse raw green into depths of mindeye

Unchaperoned Woman
Sculpts a sandcastle by seashore
Walks inwards, Sea retreats, she holds sand grains
In cupped palms,
Letting the little elephant pass through fingers

Unchaperoned Woman
Dies numerous Deaths
To be reborn Every Day
Blisters of her shame crusts
Around mouth of Volcano

Unchaperoned Women
Seed a New Earth in the soil of freedom
They shall raise girls
Unafraid of two-legged beasts
