dont
talk to me
of sudden love. . .
in our land
even the monsoons come
leisurely, strolling like
decorated temple elephants
(the pomp, the paraphernalia)
after months of monotonous prayer,
preparations and palpitating waits.
my darling
his silence
(those still shoulders)
but his eyes dance
his eyes dance
(so wild, so wild)
so i think of raging
summer storms
like uncontrollable tuskers
trampling in mast
(the madness, the lust)
across the forests of our land. . .
