I lie in
Lunuganga
Tracing on
My lover’s chest
A moonlit path
That ends at
Slivered water’s edge
Where
A prehistoric saurian
Tangled in
Lotus stalks
Seeks escape
From this
Unhinged wildness
Where
My ancestors monkey
From sacred banyan
And slide their toes
On sun-dappled moss
That shivers
Smoke and mist
Where
Vapor of sex
Exhumed from
Jackfruit and citrus
Curls into
Braided cygnet
Calls
