The Scrubwoman's Song
The Scrubwoman's Song
I could be a Buddhist
and look wise.
Or I could be a Tantrik
and be a bit wild.
I could be a yogi
and tangle my limbs
like a secret code
that no one else could read.
I listen to an inner music
that none but me
can hear.
I scrub and dip,
scrub and sway,
to this music
that only I can hear.
