SARI REAMS by SADAF SAAZ She will wrap around encircle gold Embedded with tresses of time Weighed down by river folds Embodied and Enshrined. Mothball stale in silent air Unravelled as time stood still As I bring water-filled hands to cover my face I see my mother's reflection And within her, her mother's too And in the void wonder Visage of my daughter's queue. With heavy dampness as monsoon Waters cast the dice This entwined piece of cloth With centuries embroider worn Intricate a form Engraved to bodies desire Clings to droplet perspire To carry on with defiance Or shield space within Each thread with the past cushions Our place in the future we are in. She will carry it on her Proud and hair piled high Or cascading free and wild Whatsoever her choice. I remember the faded picture My mother's wedding one With a gold circle nose ring. And now I see it in my own.
