The Cuckoo Calls a Beloved Who Comes
Cruel cuckoo,
Did you suddenly remember the season only
to hurt me ?
I slept in my house, at last I slept-
Then you cry: " Beloved, Beloved!"
Salt to a wound, Saw-blade cutting my heart.
You perch on your branch in a high tree, singing
Of love full-throated,
And Mira wakes remembering she is alone.
-MIRABAI, Ecstatic Poems
