On the sandbank in front are fields of wheat, cajan, melons,

water-melons.

Ganga glitters in the distance.

Boats being towed

look like ink sketches.

On the veranda, Bhajiya, silver bangles on her wrist,

grinds wheat between stones

and sings in a monotonous drone.

Girdhari the doorman has been sitting next to her

for a long time, under who-knows-what pretext.

Beneath the old neem tree the gardener draws

water from a well with a bullock’s help.

The midday’s wistful with its creaks

and the field of sweetcorn shimmers in water-streams.

The warm wind wafts the faint scent of mango buds

and tells us that bees have gathered on the mahaneem’s flowers.
