Beneath

Beneath the green grasses Is a naked desert Have you ever Felt its misery and solitude? Have you ever Tried to kiss its marooned lips? It is as lonely As the Goddess Kumari in her shrine It is as parched

Beneath the green grasses

Is a naked desert

Have you ever

Felt its misery and solitude?

Have you ever

Tried to kiss its marooned lips?

It is as lonely

As the Goddess Kumari in her shrine

It is as parched

As the throat

Of the celibate yogi

Who has lost

His spiritual fertility

It is as anemic as the tea leaves

Floating on the hot waters of time

Beneath the green grasses

Is a naked desert

And beneath the naked desert

Seeds of the grasses

Lost in the austerity

Of the crumbling womb
