Women chains

By the green leaves of a hedge the women, in a chain, sing their bhajans upwards.Their God plays flute, in the shadow of the pipal tree by the river.He eats butter and plays in the moonlight with cowherd girls ,receiving songs from women chains.

They are mothers to God secretly happy He steals their butter.They are mothers who are afraid to see mud in his baby mouth because it will upset his little stomach but are secretly happy He eats the earth up in all its mud. That is the burden of the songs they send upwards.
