rising waves
resound with the rhythm
of temple bells
composing melodies
for the Rath-Yatra by the sea

Ratha-Yatra (The Car Festival), annually celebrated by the Hindus, is associated with Lord Sri Jagannath, Puri, Odisha. It commemorates the journey of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and their sister Subhadra to their aunt’s temple, the Gundicha temple, which is about 2 km from the main temple. After nine days, the devotees bring back the deities to the main temple. The return journey is called Bahuda-Yatra.

a lone seagull
scans the vastness
I fold my past
and awaken
to cross the waves

I walk along carrying

waves on waves
along the long shore
at the signpost
our close relationship dwells
under the crossed footprints
