Make sure you visit
the Hall of a Thousand Pillars
in Chidambaram. Ask the monks
to take you to Shiva’s shrine. I'm interested that the opening stanza is so conversational, like a guide book, especially considering the divine descriptions which follow.
The curtain opens daily to show
empty space filled by an entity
without volume. It flows cool line
as waves in a timeless dream; I wouldn't use semicolon but that's personal preference in poetry I say
unceasing, pure Akasa.
You know it already, as aether,
quintessence, Solomon’s Seal.
This is the time and place between, I thought it was timeless? I like space better than place to play on space-time
where Shiva dances. Emptiness
is not the same as nothing. This same conversational tone of the last line works with the new subject matter.
