Practicing the Austerities
Practicing the Austerities
They have their
nadis and their citrinis.
I have my living room bliss,
They arrange their bodies
in circles,
turn their legs into bent pins.
I stand quietly
letting the music streams
flow through.
They perform strange ablutions,
carefully control what they eat.
Each day I brush my teeth
and shower, that's it.
Sometimes I even drink wine,
eat a bite of fish.
