S.Jagathsimhan Nair Poet Tanka

Trickster

Saffron  robes, long hair
A shoulder bag and a pouch
Of dirty dust which
He calls sacred is all that
Into this cheat’s making goes

A woman lonely
And worried is his sure prey
Gold bangles of hers
Are  his,  as she falls to  his 
Talk of foolproof  remedies.
