Imagined Reptiles And Vortices Poem by RAJESH SHIRALI
Imagined Reptiles And Vortices
When the blades of grass
Harbor snakes that slither
But are unseen
The waves in my mind
Gravitate to a vortex
Of what is not, but should have been
I scour the earth, weed out the green
No reptile to be found
And the vortex too turns out to be
Aripple, and not what it was
When I was down
