She lay in the dark
Her moon face – cold
The vast sky spreads like a dome
In death she is again alone
She died burning
Sari draped the cooking fire they say
Her charred face now silent
Under embroidered stars
Thousands of miles away
Hundreds of cries later
A woman screams
Fire ! Fire !

wonder what u meant by thousands of miles away a woman cries, though.
But a woman somewhere else - thousands of miles away, hundreds of cries later, the cries were hers as well as others - revolts and says Fire Fire - the word "Fire" symbolises many things (1) The bride is burning (2) The woman herself is angry and burning in fury (3) Fire at(kill) the men/women that commited the murder
