heat wave

Degrees
Of affinity, movement
On paper, in ether
and on board
Measure for measure
-text to some
elsewhere, a peg, an inch
and sometimes
a corporator.
Dealt out, nuanced
And the heat is on
Non-egalitarian,
it sifts and burns.
Banished rays
Conditioners
Planets transit
-the world's astray
Variant degrees
pull it away

the village rises

Circuits
Light up paths
House-fulls
of guests.
The Gramadevata's summerfest.
Nine urns for the twists and turns
of the lanes that wind through the foothills
A unique spirit binds us all
-from the swords of power to the plough that tills.
Current institutions, contemporary culture
Justified manifestations
-the Past the filter.
From each according to their capacity
-their mite.
Legends, mediums, beats of drums
Not to be dispossessed
The Cosmos is
this osmosis.
