Mystical Strains

You are so complex, so twisted beautiful,
I suppose.
You are everything I am not also something
I should not have.

I can hear your voice murmuring in the
monsoons.
I see you sway the coconut trees,
whipping the night sky.

I lift my fuchsia sari and dance in the moist
fresh earth.
Play no music
speak no words.

Your face greets my misty eyes.
You are everything I am not also
something I should not have.
