Transcend Contradiction


a new reality of  

  broken pathways on
trains, cars, buses     stairways to heaven
hashish and     saffron robes
marigolds on the river     melt and blend
and market cows     vending rules
in yoga pose     of life
chime death     behind the curtain
of burning bodies     a natural high
on the Ganges     a space of
no space for     tranquil wanderings and
mourning     nature’s mother

the tension holds the wave that spits me out on barren dome
in hippy dreads and lungi wraps I weave the maze of dusk and dawn
but there beneath the ashy deep of spicy chai and lentil fields
the elephant god lays flowers at my feet
