the story

they like that story
like the telling

how your dad was
murdered
when you were two

how my dad left
the night
I was born

oh

they like that story
like the telling

but we know...
we connect
     outside the story



for Nilame  - one of the saints out on the path

40 Days

40 days
walking, stick swinging
no touch of the pen
just a poet's lent
