september 15
I see at night without a torch
I hear the sounds of a parliament of owls
The constellations are quite clear and bright
Everything they say is right cause this is a full moon night.
Guru-Gauranga Gandharivka-Giridhari in their pink, silver and white with marigold leis a feast for our sense of sight
Visvarupa mohotsava come celebrate this full moon night
The ratha-bhojana-vrksa gets respect just before the construction crew calls a stop. I sprint out as fast as possible to meet the gecko and feed the bear again. Serious errand runners are what we meet today. They’re using all the tricks of the trade. Cheating the lights pedaling on the pavement or banisters X-game style. These guys know the shortest way around the city. The gecko and I keep up for some time and then we come to the harbor and take the right and pass the reviewing stand. Ms.Gault helps us avoid the triangle and cross between the lakes. The sufferers are beginning their bon fires now even with the sun still high enough to keep them warm. The soccer pitch has a game going on. The long and winding brings us to the rath-bhojana-vrksa where we bow our heads. Here the gecko turns to take his leave and I team up with the kalarupa to make the sandhya do a double take on his sundial.
Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari are remembering the portion of Bengal where the Ganges does not flow this evening and they call their night dress baby blue.
