Seeking Sati

("Suttee", James Atkinson, 1831)

MY anime and your grime
No! I want to date Time
Divine, as it may sound,
but I’m left with
Shards of my wind chime.

My brine and your Ganges,
But, putrid notions never rhyme,
Silhouettes are just shadows,
Most of me is blind.

I agree it rhymes great and the puns work but what were you actually dwelling on? never quite got the drift.

actually i was dwelling on the what makes women commit sati like in the most ideal way. what could be the excuse for such an act? i know most of the time the act is forced. bt what about this woman who wants to die in her husband's pyre?
