A Tribute to Purnima Dabholkar

Desire responding

like a flower in osmosis

taking in slowly

the touch, the feverish grasp.

The absence.

A traumatic loss

of the proximity.

The flower

without age.

After a spell of withering

a tide of yearning

calls.

A waste of beauty

can be frightening.

The beauty without a mirror to know its magic

without the seeping rain, absorbing sky,

and without the earth to take it in.

Years go by as the Desire renews the Body

feeling a shower of kisses

falling on its soil

The typing of fingers

stopping in wait,

for the emerging note

from the warm cavern .

A mermaid rises

pressing her palms

against the water ,

Desire rises.
