Listen to me as one listens to the rain,
not attentive, not distracted,
light footsteps, thin drizzle,
water that is air, air that is time,
the day is still leaving,
the night has yet to arrive,

As One Listens to the Rain, by Octavio Paz. Read by Jincy Varghese.

Treat a poem like dirt,
humus rich and heavy from the garden.
Later on it will become the fat tomatoes
and golden squash piled high upon your kitchen table

Imagine our streets full of women, talking, strolling, laughing and gesticulating. Visualise parks and beaches dotted with young women sitting alone. Imagine street corners taken over by old women reflecting on the state of the world.
