Nowhere safe
for women to pee in Mumbai;
even the men fighting for their basic rights,
but the women
afraid to drink water
because they have no access to relief.
Surely even lush feisty girls
will wither,
lose their will to fight and grow and nurture,
dried out in the heat,
ignoring their own urgency.
All this wireless flow,
new capacities to understand,
deep layers of science and perception
opening vistas of possibility…
we need real shovels,
real water,
sustainable circles for sharing our power,
wind and sun delivering
more than inspiration.
