BHARTRIHARI (Buddhist Hermit) ~

———————————

Her quick eyes

and animated mouth

unsettle me.

So, of course,

her uplifted breasts,

full lips —

soft fruits for the hungry.

But why should a

single wisp of hair,

stroked beneath her naval like some

classic

line of poetry,

reduce me to such

anguish?

                                                                                 K. 119
