It Was all Hindu. Exploded among the stars — first we are blinded. Africa as history in footsteps. Shoulders and poets in our own foray. Even in the alley with Genet — to be young, to fight for your wit, to lose your family, to worry less about war than sorrow. Farmer, logger, steel worker, the man with iron on his back over the ridge.
