Spread the majestic matter into

My aching body of darkness and inertia

The golden-white runs like liquid fire

Agni, Soma, Rishi’s cover of bright tails

 

Make me the liquid matter of vibrancy

That sees with cells, and feels with mind

Brooding for the future’s great descent

Spread the new creation in my bones

 

That my organs might know the sensation

Of immersion with energy’s finery

My nervous system wide-wayed into sweetness

This cortex asking to be wrapped softly

 

In the immortal’s prayers for new life

Dance in me the planets and cosmos

I want all levels of rainbow ancestry

A dominant mutation in my genetic fabric

A combination of Asian origins and biology, fantasy mixed with the kinetics of our bodies. I was expecting something much different, and got a pleasant surprise. Well done

I will go to great lengths to encourage writers of Asian origin. Of these, Indian are my favorite. They have a beauty of sentiment that is not replicated in english. I do not like to leave a trace.. more..
