| | SIVA EXPOSED
See, the lord is in the mountain cave!
tossing the long jeta, black as time, back behind
away from his tejas-tajas eye and ash shaded face
his brillant blue throat is fully exposed to view
there are small lines, as crevices outling mountain peaks
looking as webs of blue the strength of the Hala Hala shines
open to view against the blue sky, then the black jeta falls
with the shake of his head the laces of ageless hair reach down
the bone ear rings too, catch the blue light
crescents of Chandra, as nadam in the ear circling
as a pool with rings of reverberation, a pebble sinking
that is the linga in the pool of the yoni, the virgin sunyata
that is the untouchable black of Kali consuming the Linga Shankara
Poetry from Shankara's Siva Recollections |
