HILL, Pati
Slave Days

Two lovers sitting on a tomb
peeled an orange and ate the rind

Three lovers in a cosy room
slept with arms and legs entwined

Four lovers on a dusty road
looked for God and found a toad

One lover in a rented flat
wrote his name and that was that

How many lovers does it take
to weave a sweater from a snake!
