DAY, UNLIKE ANY OTHER DAY Untimely siren targets untoward event- `locals' foray forward with bale-packing poles, into private world to converge on glass edged compound, like a Kerala elephant hunt.
Gasping Kitchan trips over clothesline. Skimpy Das in slack under wears Gadgets funny horn apropos burrowing Into move on. Tilaks her twin lotus buds Scritching long blouse, waiting for reunion Voices `akka, akka' like calling to crows On new moon noons. I balance yolk on spoon, in single gulp Saunter via creek through vineyard To theme fields of paddy waves where She would frolic with water snakes Or do a dance for Shiva sensuously hid in Hoods of flowers, sing G.N.B. querying dear Parrot prepared to do that which I ask you to? Willing to place cheek against cheek to plant A kiss, chastened memorial? Rather she logged on to me, splotch Forward of mud-feet; we sauntered Sagged on to bland sand no longer bland Chunks of feckless mud while lone wolf cranes Up nostrils; past abandon of sapota trees Sideways through stacks of hay, to return Like caparisoned elephants.
