Stretch out your arms
See how far the ridges run
Over deep chasms
Empty.
II
In this forest
Certain shadows in certain seasons
Yield treasure.
III
O Sabara,
Lay your bed in the meadow
By the moon rock
Sarvamohini Kurukulle
Taut like a thunderbolt
Swing down on me with a roar.
Sing, Kanha, your secret heart.
In this forest.
IV
Together, entwined
We hold our breath
Our hearts pound
Our minds empty
Slaves to the rhythm
Deep inside us
A molten rush of light
Rising together
Flashing Dakini
Dancing free
Look, the candle
Welds our heaving shadows
Together
Feel, my hands around your heavy buttocks
Your legs around my neck
A moan
Slow to rise
Fills our world
Your voice, and mine
As we dance out of time.
