And with the placard
People going,
Has something gone wrong,
What the case of misunderstanding?
I do not understand.
Eklavya
I feel for you so much,
Your talent for archery
And your gurudakshina
How can it be, Eklavya?
Black Literature
What is Black literature?
Is it of the Dark Continent
Or the Afro-American people,
Race and racism
And civil rights movements?
All are not bad,
Something is of the time,
Of situations and circumstances,
Thinking and time-spirit.
My Krishna And None The Else
Mira
In Krishna-bhakti
Lost
And submerged in
Hearing the Divine Flute
And its notes breaking
So melodiously charged.
