Burping satisfaction
You have banqueted well
Your swollen belly rolls relaxed
Satiated you spit
Carcass bones of my village
Unremorseful at my feet
Paraded on your watery shoulders
My mothers sari
Torn from her gentle body
Greets and grieves me
Profoundly wounds me
So calm...............
Your indifference now
While your adoring dead servants
Are littered in pyres
Returning ashen to the earthen cradle
