Salim Poem by umashankar manthravadi

Salim



so tainted by time
tallow yellow
blue black home of flame

and the smoke so familiar
memory fills the smell
room full

yellow smoke
tear stuff in the blue black
moon bright

how slowly or quicktime
built in brick

light dances
slight but so full
of contact

one tendril outgrowth
burnt brown
from its connections

- November 23,1979
