From my Bhutan Diary, 1973-74

1. BODY'S HEAT

In labours' colony

she is coupled 

whole night and gets

abused and flogged

in the morning

lover turns ruffian

on blue black sheet

stains dry up by

the body's heat

2. NUDE

Near the railway track

she squats with hands on the knees

and hides her parts

in half-dark the naked truth

transforms nature into nude

3. TANGLED GAME

He looks intently and chews

her flesh before she feels

the oily warmth and bursts

her naked anger he fails

to do down in the bamboo rustles

the rock slips and he balls up

his own tangled game

4. NEWER TALES

Sex-torn women

half-live with murdered desires

weaving dreams of flesh

in Deothang their fingers lean

on looms with newer tales
