Question

Why does the poet naheed
domhare the woman with
blade
of grass ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

THE GRASS IS REALLY LIKE ME

The grass is also like me

it has to unfurl underfoot to fulfil itself

but what does its wetness manifest:

a scorching sense of shame

or the heat of emotion?

The grass is also like me

As soon as it can raise its head

the lawnmower

obsessed with flattening it into velvet,

mows it down again.

How you strive and endeavour

to level woman down too!

But neither the earth’s nor woman’s

desire to manifest life dies.

Take my advice: the idea of making a footpath was a good one.

Those who cannot bear the scorching defeat of their courage

are grafted on to the earth.

That’s how they make way for the mighty

but they are merely straw not grass

—the grass is really like me.
