== The Poem ==

:In the shifting shadows of lantern light
:Her hollow contours become yet more pronounced
:Against the pitch darkness of the impatient man
:As he advances she struggles with the suffocating stench
:Of empty sacks stained with kerosene smoke
:Smell of hooch, of sweat, of flesh, the man's
:Drunken half-smile, look of vague desire, the dark
:Hollow of her dry hung elongated breasts, the dark
:Gaping cleavages of paddy fields throw a mocking sneer.
:''Erratic fingers, nails digging into the skin -''
:Haggard looking crows swooping down in haphazard trajectories.
:''Twisting of bodies, arms clasping, unclasping''
:Emaciated naked children fight over a loaf
:Of dark bread snatched from a tired dog :
:silhouettes of puppets in a drollery
:A woman wails by the body
:Of husband crushed under a sack of relief rice
:''his breath, her breath, hot, mingling together :''
:Dry leaves rustle in the mid-afternoon air.
:She cambers up, indifferent, like a crab, in spasms
:As the hairy-chested man prepares for a decisive thrust :
:Look of tiredness in the eyes,
:''ready to bite, but unable to move the underjaws.''
:Her body, breathing, lies exhausted -
:A gleam of compromised content in her eyes
:Having added two rupees to the forty she earned last
:week by selling off her daughter.
