Shruti Karandikar

Fourteen hundred and forty.
Naked, but not barefoot,
Androgynous.

Fourteen hundred and seventy-three.
Clothed, but not in style
Swordsman

Fifteen hundred and one.
Bare, but not insipid.
Introspective.

As the years go by,
Expressions evolve
Feminine, fighter, philosopher.
The shepherd who killed a giant.
