A Song 50

At Marine Drive
in Arabian Sea,
Kabir and Tuka,
webbed a dog tale
for Goti.
Long, long ago,
once upon many times,
Kabira went to Tuka
at Pandharpur.
May days sans nights.
A stray chased
Kabir and Tuka,
tugging torn dhotis.
Kabir and Tuka swivelled,
ran down the stray.
Pandharpur astray,
impounded
Kabir and Tuka,
loosed the stray.
Aeon janmas ago,
Goti was the stray.
