Today's drabble is for
Subhadra is a child of joy, born of the relieved meeting of aging bodies that had loved each other when young.
Her laughter rings out in Mathura drowning the weeping infant ghosts of brothers long-dead, and her voice is the brightest bell a nation of herders have ever heard. Her feet never touch the ground, all the long way to Dwaraka, and she travels in loving arms and perches on broad shoulders: everyone’s favourite, a living sign of a new future, of hope after imprisoned, embattled years.
Rohini is wreathed in smiles for her, Devaki graciously unbending, Vasudeva forever indulgent.
