The Lotus and the Bird

In Chambers Grand, where silks and laughter played, 
A voice within, a question soft and low, 
"Tell me, dear Yashodhara, what ails your heart? 
Your eyes, once radiant, now seem weighted by sorrow's dart.”

For about the fifteenth time this month
 Patter his bare feet
Upon the pavement
Of the dust filled lane.

And you fill him full of sin, 
Then you nail him to the highway, sayin’,
