Lashes extended to
Soften mother’s earth
Prowled in a nasty web,
To ooze child’s pain
Nothing left to annihilate;
What she gains
Nagging in the goddess’s lap;
Liberating her from pain
As if silicon lie carved,
Into a vivacious brain.
She self-sabotages her powers
In a fabricated chain
Laid a crimson skin on the facial nerves;
Bragging pebbles close to the breast.
Fear lurks on her dismantled identity;
Brushing holes on her sloppy knuckles.
Old age knocks like chills beneath the grave;
Longing to churn me in pairs
Death appears as a snobbish ghost;
Propelling a carriage full of swollen moths.

Gargi’s poetry gives a deeper meaning to a woman’s existence. Like every human, she is molded from the earth and will return to it. There is a lifelong tale that is being spun with every step and breath she takes. Her maternal essence is her very identity and that makes her unlike any other. The more that is expressed, the lesser it appears to be. The entire universe can reside in a woman’s eye. She is what she wants to be. Powerful and uplifting!
Congratulations Gargi!
