AdIRA Naidu

 

From her new home in America Adira explores the richness, and sensibilities of her old life in Southern India.

 
 

To Spin the Universe Golden

In the night’s shrunken sleeve

a pale moon stalls at my window

Krishna plays flute

Parvati dances for her

I comb my hair silken

and for my mother

whose own life

is a silver stained river

of distances.
