JAPANESE GIRL 
 
the painted tattoo of Zodiac signs 
on the base of your neck 
started revolving my world abound 
in front of the Buddhist Monastery 
like the planets around the sun 
 
dreams started floating like clouds 
will it be Shiva the destroyer 
the Trishul on your forehead 
Vishnu the preserver 
the Lotus on the cleavage of your heart 
and Brahma the creator 
the eternal OM on your navel 
 
you kept me guessing and dreaming 
the Japanese girl 
in front of the Buddhist Monastery 
 
the stretched arms for alms 
of the Monks 
went abegging
