Girls from Good Families
Rati Saxena
 

Girls from good families
  do not fly kites.

Kites have colours
  colours have desires
    and desires do sting

Kites are made of paper
  paper gets torn
    then the body becomes impure

Kites have strings
  strings go loose
    they lose their way

There is flight in the kites
  they fight with the clouds
    their nerves break down

That is why girls from good families
  never fly kites.

 

Translated from Hindi by the poet
