Bicycle trip




Undulating, sandy, two-wheeled hour
To Whoknowswhere, village of my year
whitewashed walls
a splash of red gate
turquoise painted mud, low doors,
damp red earth road and hopscotch gardens
Green house blue house cyan house
Stick fences and lamp shady trees
Buffalo heads bowed, goats roped.
Bright sari heads covered then exposed
Community hubbub of wide smiles,
black eye makeup and wrinkles.
Wide eyed wonder at the white girl on the bike
Namaste Namaste Namaste bye bye
