can’t understand

whom to say

can’t understand
 
which tongue can tell

can’t understand

what words can  
speak

can’t understand

I cut bamboo

I cut straw

making every corner

tying everything together

can’t understand

I swept the floor

laid gunny sacks

I decorated my hut

decorated so much

can’t understand

rice, pulses, salt, oil, potato, onion, garlic, chilly, bottle gourd, aubergine, ridge gourd, sponge gourd, green beans, bitter gourd, okra, pumpkin, petticoat, saree, blouse, colors, tikuli, comb, mirror, lip tint, pen, books, notebook, pencil, feels

inside my hut

no corner for my feelings

scouring

world, body

nothing finds me

where are you?
