Sita: A Poem      

'Rupture is her home/She carries inside the bag'

Hacked
Flawlessly neat from below

A woman     
Is a continuous rupture

Searing deep
Through her body and soul

Rupture is her home
She carries inside the bag

Of her skin
She lives inside it

Her entire life
Whenever I see the earth

Cracked I peep into
The dark crater

To look for the woman
Lost inside it 


(Durga Prasad Panda is a bilingual poet and critic. He edited a Reader on Jayanta Mahapatra for Sahitya Akademi. )
