Indo-Guyanese Women Poets

Stanza 8

And when the spaces inside you
can no longer be filled
by the rank beds of rice,
and the lowing morning
cannot stir you to rise
from your ghoola,
The music in your heart
will sound a rustling sound,
and the bamboos to Hannuman
will be a sitar in the wind.
(last line repeated for clarity and correct pronunciation)
