POEM: Orange Hour
A golden streak of light,
glowing off the Ganga
like the opening scene
of a fury-destined manga.
The silent, gliding boats
give way to bells and horns
as sadhus leave the ghats
with the fading of the morn.
Gone the floating lamps and flowers,
so ends that magic orange hour.

NOTE: The name of this museum has changed. I’m using the old name not as a passive-aggressive, underhanded offering of support for colonial oppression, but rather because the new name is “The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya” and — like Twitter — I think my title block has a character limit. So if they’d like me to use the new name, they need to stop spinning the wheel and buy a vowel, already.
