Echoes of Grief .

Priya Tomar

In the violet sky , lucent crescent

Brighter sun in summer pleasant 

 Ma, put bindi on your forehead 

For you I brought the red .

 

Papeeha's music so sweet 

Chorus of  birds' tweet 

A song let your bangles sing 

Where' re the  tinkling toe ring.

 

Your eyes're wet in sawan 

No hues on chunri in fagun

Hair 's been losing fragrance

Why ? I can't make sense .

        This is most beautiful in its imagery of a culture poorly known in the west. It is softly sad and so nicely written. A fave

            Priya, this carries that gentle, loving tone while quietly revealing something deeper…like noticing the small changes in someone close to you and not quite understanding why. The beauty of the imagery and that underlying concern work really well together. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
