Still hands
rest on the keyboard
tremble
shine
wait for instructions
emerge and write
at least
a list.
Stop the flow,
get up
heat water
grab mate
yerba
brown sugar
at least
a list.
Back on my butt
searching the guts
Grooveshark
Deva Premal
Gayatri Mantra
India… Ah! Here it comes!
al least
a list.
Remember my love,
remember when we met?
Whitefield morning.
Scented air.
Saraswathi Goddess.
Handcrafted Destiny.
at least
a list.
You thought I was so vain
(you are always right).
I thought you were out of your mind
(I wasn’t that right, I never am).
We crashed in the bad way
scattered glints
turned round
faded away.
Soft and tumultuously
sparks from your spirit
light my sari as a river
an irrepressible force
an impetuous course
unfolded nature
man and woman
reaching our central core.
Not enough poems, no praise, no song,
no, are not enough to express my love.
laughter above pain / you, funny cow
trust beyond anger / you, wise cow
compassion over pride / you, guru cow
respect built and re-found / you, seeker cow
At least a list, dear husband,
Minimal remembrances of pure delight.
amararama, the spirited u-turn
