EVEN PAST FIFTY

Shanta Shelke Profile

She’s past fifty;yet she’s still

a little girl at heart,

for whom the house is a doll’s house,

and running the householda childhood game.

Catastrophes to her

are still like the evil spirits

in children’s stories

a flower crumpled in a fist,

rises again, smiles, or sings to herself,

though hers is not a musical voice.

noted the hair fast becoming white,

the hollowness of the froth

rising above the stream of her

life
