Thakuras in silvery black and forest green
Folks present themselves to be seen
Coming to take shelter and feel serene
Coming to the mandir consciousness is clean
Studying the outfit’s leis of mums and roses almost have sheen
Murkha and I go to see udila naksatranam just past the dog
Over the bridge students out for a jog
Now night has set in time for light
At the shop I take leave while murkha takes flight
Crossing the first highway and marcedo de las pulgas
To the navapatra for gandhas
Straight along the big street
First highway goes under one more bridge
RBV calls out beyond rodeo rige
Kalarupa gives chase
Making the sandhya with haste
In the evening “lion on the chase” is the nightdress
Green and purple colors caress
Soon they know thakuras will rest
I was born at stroke of midnight
My brother kept the cats away
Mahaprabhu on the altar
Take his foot dust on my head
Kirtan going outside the window
Gekkonidae on patrol in the dark
Three shades of purple blended well
Roses with gerbera centers give the leis their special spark
Now the end of another day
Deep within the far off jungle nightdress
Now they dance the evening away
Thakuras dressed in silver and gold
Eclipsed full moon has a rabbit to hold
graceful leis of roses told
of beauty in the extreme
pedaling round the manasic block
joining with roadies against the clock
looking back on the cruiser crop
smaranam beauty in the extreme
in good time they’re dressed for rest
hiranya kasipu , it’s Saturday night, as can be guessed
another example of beauty in the extreme
vyasa puja in the presence of Gurudeva
request to make an outfit of white and yellow came
leis of roses, marigolds and mums frame
beauty in the extreme
sprinting out between the drops
challenging fixed gear freaks at hilltops
then I take my leave at the shop
murkha returns to wake beauty in the extreme
“in the ninth” will be red blue and green
come to mangala arati to be seen
by beauty in the extreme
