In this outlandish poem, A HERON'S TESTIMONY, the poet expresses the fear of a girl about the flirty nature of the lover. She takes comfort in the thought that there stood a Heron as a silent witness to the marriage and may stand testimony in case of any breach of faith by the man.

A HERON'S TESTIMONY

At the hour when my sweetheart

Married me subtly,

There were no one to authenticate

However, the cheat himself

if he retracts  on his promise

what else is there to do?

However, there stood a heron

on thin, greenish legs

fashioned like a millet's stem

searching for fish

in the shallow stream
