shiva, sahitya, shiva

shiva*, sahitya**, shiva***

shiva's tears

for sati

in katas****
up in the salt range

the pond

unadorned 

abandoned

by worshippers 

disambiguating

third eye

its legendary clarity

opaqued globally 

by cascading cataracts

deen, dharam

shaikh o brahmin

juda raahaiN

ik manzil

laikin teesri aankh

ka fiqdaan

turn to jewish shiva

to dull the pain
