About the Author
R. C. Shukla, Head of the Department of English, K.G.K. College at Moradabad, is a well known bilingual poet from Northern India. He has published poems in English in several India-based literary journals including Delhi’s Indian Literature. R. C. Shukla appeared very late on the horizon of Indo-Anglian literature when his first collection of poems entitled A Belated Appearance was published in 2000, but the swift publication of his next three collections denotes that he is in a hurry to make up for the delay.

O Woman! I Bow Before You

O Woman! I bow before you.
Colder than snow
Hotter than Fire
Your silence
More vocal than the tongue
And patience
More clamorous than a shriek
O woman!
I bow before you.

Your secrets
More mysterious than the priest
And announcements
Braver than the wind
O woman!
I bow before you.
