When I look at the Other

Waving a rose, I see myself

In sacred repose, indeed….

Yet, even without the bloom so said

the fragrance of the rubiginosa

Has entered the city of bliss….

Hence, we celebrate

the marriage of Deitic IS!

Rishika says, now twirl the play-lotus! *

(*A Play-lotus is a Dramatic ‘device’ in Sanskrit theatre which allows- by its manipulations- to transmit messages to ‘confidantes’ without alerting outsiders!)
