The Hermit Poet’s Ramblings
–
Players
Beginning to understand
All held together with rubber bands
Sinking into quicksand
No longer hit parade
It is a charade
Hurry
Close window shades
Holding
Tight
Ace of spades

Varanasi
India
Hindu pilgrims pray and bathe in Ganges
Snake charmer puts cobra at ease
Sadhus smoke their chillums
Burning ghats leave only ashes & fragments of skeletons
Cows roam all around
I walk on the sacred ground
–
searching for answers
I step on a fire ant mound
I’m the intruder
everyone
protects their home
