rain-fed, her jute
crop, stem and ribbon
bundled, I extract her
fibres, immersing them
in my salival waters pouring
from my tongue, the stripping
process, scraping her off, digging
lubricious fibres from her jute stalk,

hessian cloth,
eco-friendly, ideal
for community gifting,

from seed to expired fibre,
protecting deforestation, recycling
her fibres, making of her ghille suit
used as camouflage, resembling grass
and bush, 100% bio-degradable, treated
with flameproofing agents, I set fire to her
gunny bag, her white jute fibre wet, mentioned
as Jews mallow in the Book of Job, I am planted
in her vegetable potherb, raw jute mill times five.
