Pandi Ghat

Laundry relentlessly beaten
6AM bathing men in the Ganges
while temple bells are ringing
Vishnu's conch sounds like an
elephant's trunk.

Is this the only time that's
truly mine?

Accordian drones Hare Hare
to rid himself of earthly desires
the modern fast life full of
riches and deceit.
