Farm grass

Thin grass
weak grass
grass too wimp to withstand hurricane
its hollow stick bows
bends to kiss mud
by the bulldozed road
a beggar in the farm
with its sons trapped under the saya
of washed women
who slip inside his boots
like thorns to prick soles
of rabid man,
man of no descent
man who plows the paddy at day
where he strangles grass
sickles grass
his sons shaded under the saya
of washed women
where little sand drips.
