from Creative Curses by KMKaung--may all your rivers--



May all your rivers run dry
May your seed fail
May you wives’ wombs shrink
May they give birth to dried up fetuses
Which don’t really mean good luck
But are just that
Dried fetuses that died in the womb.

May the country rise up
And swallow you up
As in the jataka
stories.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala--I have a volume of her short stories--which I like a great deal.
