Someone else’s grandmother
once told me that a good wife
Is as full of loving comfort as a mother
As full of tender adoration as a daughter
As easy to playful irreverence as a sister
And as reliable and loyal as a best friend
And palli arai-yillai--in the bedroom, she said:
she is as winsome and perceptive as a courtesan.
