Love transmissions


I'm jealous
of your love transmissions
as you send your nurturing thoughts
across the world
from our flat in Mapusa –
Om Sarveshaan Swastir Bhavantu and
Peace be unto all – I see your
quiescent love float out the window and ramify,
rustling up the mango leaves
Sarve bhavantu sukhinah, Sarve santu niraamayaah
if only they (the rioting citizens of the world) could see
you in your undie
wishing ‘May none suffer from sorrow’,
they would abjure violence
and, like me, choose love and love and
love.
