Anxiety in the rain
Suddenly
The rain fell,
With the speed
Of the wind's spell.
The women vegetable vendors
Packed with haste,
Running for cover,
Rebuking
The rain's wild waste.
They worried what to sell
If the rain didn't cease,
For the day's necessity
To earn was
A pressing need.
Their need for money
Was urgent,
A daily struggle to make
Ends meet in the night
While the paddy fields
Waiting for the rain .
