At sunset, on the river ban, Krishna <br />Loved her for the last time and left... <br /> <br />That night in her husband's arms, Radha felt <br />So dead that he asked, What is wrong, <br />Do you mind my kisses, love? And she said, <br />No, not at all, but thought, What is <br />It to the corpse if the maggots nip? <br /> <br />[from The Descendants]<br /><br />Kamala Das<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-maggots/
