Movement

By Nishi Pulugurtha

Movement

She works with pieces of thread
Some black beads
White metal ones

Small heaps
That lie, the orange plastic
That crackle
With some movement

Hands string
Come and see
The evil will be warded off

A few others like her
At the same work

The faithful walk past
To climb that hill
575 steps hewn into the rock

A child stops and looks
A smile, a tug
Feet walk on

The revels of the sun
At their peak
A shade, a pause

Feet move on.
