Primal Memory
And this is the whole of life! Spinning, singing,
Seas, deserts, cities.
The glimmering reflection
Of that which is forever lost.
A fire rages, trumpets trump,
And chestnut horses fly,
Then provocative lips
Speak and speak again, it seems, of happiness.
And here again are ecstasy and grief,
Again, as before, as always,
The sea waves its grey mane,
And deserts and cities rise up.
When, then, at last, aroused
From my dream, will I be myself again —
A simple Hindu, dozing
By a stream in the sacred twilight?
