My Friend

 

 

 

(By Meera)

 

 

 

My friend,

I'm head

over heals.

 

 

His form,

his lotus eyes

his glance, which isn't

all that straight

 

 

 

have carved themselves

upon my sight.

 

 

On the banks

of the Jumna

he grazed

his cows and played

 

 

low notes, and I

 

 

I dropped the veils

of thought

 

 

and ran

 

 

and fled

 

 

and took shelter

at his feet.
