The sky is a dark and heavy rock about to drop. Her light blue shade bleeds violently
with grays and dark blues. I am kneeling before my open window.
‘You are wisdom. You are law. You are our heart, soul, and breath.’ Fattened
clouds roll eastward, but she is quiet. Fields of rice, reaching across acres, and wave
in patties drenched in last night’s rain. These fields flow under my own and distant
houses standing up on wooden stilts. Crowded trains roll across tracks placed away
from the villages and move chchch chchch. I pray long and hard. I pray to Mother
Lakshmi. She is a mother to all of India. She will bring prosperity to this family. My
whisper softens at the sound of rain and thunder in the sky, the sounds of a whip
striking an ox's worn back. The giant rain is awakening. Silence fills the air for a
minute. The sky is silent again. I know Mother is listening. My tense cheeks and
forehead lighten. I almost smile despite the pain. The sky deepens in color. Rain
fights its way to the earth. It fights its way through the clouds like water fighting a
dam that is just about to break.
