poem-

kombat kamba


headless warriors dance wordlessly / through the night- their trunk still pierced by arrows.

large jackals stalk the streets with saliva monkeys overrun the palaces and groves/ prattling advice and victory

outside the ocean brims with lotus and swans sport with their loves. the fisherwomen gaze into night’s glare over ocean/ eyes and hope blurred with a still waiting.

the full moon floats out of the mouth of the stippled serpent. the sea is a sacrificial pit, the shark and snake the grass and ghee.


the water god’s tresses trail fire
