An Old Woman

An Old Woman -By Arun Kolatkar

An previous(a) woman grabs
h former(a) of your sleeve
and tags along. .

She wants a fifty paise coin.
She says she will take you
to the horseshoe shrine.

Youve seen it already.
She hobbles along anyway
and tightens her cargo deck on your shirt

She wont let you go.
You know how ageing women argon.
They stick to you like a burr.

You turn around and example her
with an air of finality.
You want to end the farce.

When you hear her say,
What else can an old woman do
on hills as wretched as these?

You disembodied spirit right at the cast away.
ca-ca through the bullet holes
she has for her eyes.

And as you look on,
the cristals that fuck off around her eyes
spread beyond her skin.

And the hills crack.
And the temples crack.




And the sky falls

With a plate-glass clatter
Around the shatterproof crone
who stands alone

And you atomic number 18 reduced
to so more low change
in her hand

You look right at the sky
Clear through the bullet-holes
She has for eyes.

The old womans eyes are just two gaping holes filled with empty air,with the hills and the sky.Then the cracks begin around her eyes ,spreading beyond her skin and then the hills crack, the temples crack and the sky cracks and the the sky finally shatters and falls like plate-glass. The old woman herself is shatter-proof and nothing happens to her .Only you direct instantly reduced to small change in her hand .It is you who shatter because her eyes are already bullet-holes which are formed with cracks around the holes.If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
