INDIA



Footprints in the mud
begin in the Ganges
where ashes take wing
In the bazaar, women’s eyes flash,
bracelets and bicycles jangle
the clattering herd
races toward the sun
spokes intersecting with light
the clattering train
Pancot in the hills

84? 85?


Footprints in the snow
slipping backwards downhill
squeak of new snow
blue light reflecting in the forest
Dog’s tongue clacks
as he catches his breath
