Murari Sinha Poet Free verse

Along the Old Woman’s Pond

I had set out,
meaning to go to the market, 

walking past 
the old woman’s pond. 

Then I thought, 
the market would be crowded, 
full of noise and commotion. 
I would lose myself 
in that throng. 

And so, ever since,
 I have been walking 
only the roads, 
past the old woman’s pond.
