SNAKY PATH
The path to the mastoid mountain is snaky
the women you meet are not fucking material
you can’t grab the sun shining in their hair
they’re cool, hell-strong, know well how to take care of their wood
so save some charm within the lust-house of your heart
and enjoy the gathering clouds ready to rain
before you cross the distances
or strip naked in the sticks
or write poems on stretches of free way
or make deal with the devil at every turn
be wary of the emptiness ahead
--R K Singh
About this poem
The poem is a critical reflection on the city dwellers' attitude to women living in high hills. They tend to take liberty with them and it can have serious consequences.
