is where two rivers come together  ganga and yamuna  clear and green

in false description  of soils that are more bone  the four am superpower

that you snooze off  stupidly daily with index fingers of cold affection

the winds through hair a hand cuckoo sings song  slipped in notes of

green crow wounds glisten  your feet is dirty at sangam  don't realize

that mud is ant-flood and there is so much bigger than you  in confluence

hands come to=gether oddly from thumb to pinky  at sangam  words'

trembling bodies crumble  rise faces flop  quicksilver spit hovers in linger

a stage sunrises  blinds away pushed a scene - a wrestling ring is left by a

cadaverous underdog with borrowed muscle who challenges the sea

mountains also  and she ring finger raises to quiver the words again  rise

the faces once more  of gone gharials and river dolphins  and gandhi

his ashes floating forming into gunshots while bulletproof butterflies

swarm in the way of a middle finger wrapping candy cloud around it.
