Guess the name of the outfit toady
Yes the aruna hara posse rides again this way
Favorite colors of the Hindus they’d been away
The embroidery looks spacy
Aruna hara posse rides again
Wednesday the Thakuras were dressed so well
Mukuts from Gaura Purnima
Along with the belts you gotta love ‘em
Daisy, rose and sumanas leis like a raja’s ransom
Murkha and I go pedaling out to play
Trying to catch the team on the hill over the first highway
Got watch the time get to the dock
and back for the vaikalika at four o’clock
feel the rush from the risk it takes
offering fruit, lassi and cupcakes
recumbent pedalers are out on their way to the store
pass cruisers king’s I take my leave at the shop while Murkha keeps score
the call of the ratha-bhojana-vrksa leaves no mistake
hammering to the asrama for goodness sake
greeted by the krsna cows with a gentle low
dress them in the “lotus nails” not a weapon
eradicate the demoniac but keep the benediction
orange and green great to be seen
play all night and feeling keen
walking through the forest of Jharakandha
where all the animals dance and chant in their own way
two parrots that were magic flew down
speaking wonderful things sitting on Mahaprabhu’s hand
singing how Giridhari is most extraordinary in Srimati Gandharvika’s rays
snap dragons, roses and dahlias in the leis
from fran the campa hatti walla and private maharaja
sprinting to the main street Murkha and I cross over the first highway
catching all the go lights it was grand
so many beasts the treacherous triangle easy to weave the samaja
I take leave at the shop as Murkha plaits through as the cruisers graze
round the maple tree to return to the land
fixed gear freaks call out “on your left” but up the hill Murkha’s display
leaves them gasping like the pit crew in a garage
ratha-bhojana-vrksa calls loud and clear
murkha sees the kalarupa in his mirror
while it’s the kernel of divine love with the welcoming wave
look out be careful there’s a lion on the chase tonight.
Purple and green with ruffled skirt soon they’ll be dancing as if in flight
