Vishu
She bends over daffodils,
clippers glinting in moonlight.
Bells harvested, she blots dew
in a wad of nightgown, slides
back into the house like a thief.
Her ponytail pantomimes a question
as she arranges silver rupees, an oil lamp,
the scripture on a mirror. The heater
cuts on and she jumps, holds her breath
until his evens.
Her palms slide down her throat
to her wedding necklace. She touches
the carved vermillion Ganesh. Upstairs,
an alarm goes off. Pulling the chain
over her head, she kisses it like a Catholic
and drapes it on the mirror.

Marguerite Duras: birthday series
Wiki says: India Song
is a 1975 French drama film directed by Marguerite Duras. India Song stars Delphine Seyrig, Michel Lonsdale, Mathieu Carriere, Claude Mann, Vernon Dobtcheff and Didier Flamand. The film centres on Anne-Marie (Seyrig), the promiscuous wife of the French Vice-Consul in India, and was based on an unproduced play written by Duras. Although set in India, the film was shot mostly on location in a mansion in Paris.
