Some Beautiful Young Women (Kalidasa)

Some beautiful young
women fully fulfilled after
making love, still feel the

rushes rising in their thighs
and reaching up their groins.
These women dip

themselves in oils
and massage themselves,
sitting in the morning sun.

They let off the surges
still persisting after having
made love.

Note: Original is in Sanskrit. This translation
is based on a prose translation of Coming of Winter,
Verse 17 in The Ritusamhara of Kalidasa.
