THANK YOU INDIA

... Back from cultural immersion...
Back from layers
of pray-ers
wrapped up in rainbow colors draped across coffee-and-cream skin.
Back from peering eyes
deep set
heads bent
They look up
to look at
plain white me.

...Back
and forth...
to carry the curry taste like a passport
as if one stamp, like one taste, will cure the India addiction....
but one stamp is not enough...
one taste makes waste...
of all the more times i must go
..... back.
