Hala's knot

He was embarrassed
But I laughed and gave him a hug
When he groped for the knot
Of my skirt and found it
Already undone.

Author

From the Gaha Sattasai, a collection of short poems in Prakrit about love and marriage. It is generally attributed to Hāla, a 1st century CE king of the Satavahana dynasty.
