Why does Kamala Das make so much sense?
I who have lost
My way and beg now at stranger’s doors to
Receive love, at least in small exchange?
- My grandmother’s house
At sunset, on the river bank, Krishna
Loved her for the last time and left...
That night in her husband's arms, Radha felt
So dead that he asked, What is wrong,
Do you mind my kisses, love? And she said,
No, not at all, but thought, What is
It to the corpse if the maggots nip?
- The Maggots (from The Descendants)
