aatmaa he said
your soul
it must awaken
it sleeps the sleep of the untried
I unhitch my sari
lift its end over
to cover my head
there must be some truth
in what he says
he is the guru
I the creature
of questions
without answers
I bow low in reverence
and know
that only my humility
is the answer
to a question I never asked...
