Dust unto dust
Ashes unto ashes...

there is peace now

        the crow flew on to the wires
in the parking lot


as i stood there gazing at the the passing train....

wondering....


in this small town at the other side of the world

divided by the railway tracks

[whereelsewouldigrievebutonturnpikesparkinglotsanddigitalspaces

amidstseasofanonymity?]


thinking of another small village
                                                            on the other
side of the world
                                                        and of a river
where he swam as a child....

        said s/he had flown all the way

over the oceans

all is over - all is fine.

there is peace now.

as the particles of his being merge with the river
Godavari

his childhood dreams and thoughts floating with his
remains

...

there is peace now.
