Theme: River

Om, Jai Ganga Maiyya

by Mukesh Williams

She moves

As a quiver

In the morning mist

Of January

Over hillocks

Of slender slots

Hiding the wind

In her bosom.

She holds a truss

Of English bridges

And through them

Sings madrigals

In many voices

Strange but sweet

To bewilder

Countless pilgrims.

She smells of fish,

Of flowers,

Of spray,

Of vapor,

Of wild weeds,

Of innocent sprout,

Of grapes and

Of forests.

She is my

Phylactery,

My charm,

My medicine,

My cult,

My charisma,

My mother,

My mind.

My goddess

Of the beady mouth,

Compassionate,

And catalytic,

Grant me just

One more wish

And I shall

Be free.
