Love Letter 221 Dandelion Ashes

You wonder why I don't rest,
chasing lunatics in my own skin
cherubs carrying torches
aiming their firearms at the sun
Why would they give to that which already has?

They must know something I do not

Sri Ram
Jai Ram
I sing the ragas
I recite my poems

on the faintest heart, I milk the earth for a bridegroom
I browse for your favor,

but I dare not rest!

because the pungent spell of dandelion ash
is growing in a tree trunk
and there is a poem there... a dry birth...a torch waiting to burn.

I Love and Adore You
Your Beloved
