Its Midsummer and I'M a Gujjar-Nomad
I
wear
around
under
my
arm
A
villager's-
woven
shawl.
I
pipe
in
a
pompous
pride,
My
big
beautiful
wife
is
sitting
by
my
side
Oh
naked!
Down
to
the
shoulders
and
broad
chest.
Red-
hot
cheeks
and
dishevilled
curly
hair,
Is
baking
breads
on
stony
chola.
And
with
every
puff
of
smoke
I'm
seeing
at
my
hundred
bufaloes
herd
Spread
to
the
far,
Grazing
under
the
cliff
there
near
the
meadow's
rocky
wall
And
there
deep
in
the
grove.
