Post 300. To my gracious neighbour.............
This morning pruning I was the fig tree,
that loving care for my departed father
saw planted since he so loved too munch figs,
...................
that growing brute which now stands
at one of the little yard’s end
where loving works of hydraulic-lore
feed it all the kitchen sinks’
discarded waters, repleted with
the mighty organic refuse
that the brute so loves to seep
at the end of the subterranean drains
that the nourishing fluids send its way.
.....................
Mighty the work of hydraulic-lore was
that reminiscent is in its miniature way
of the gigantic feet that Romans
accomplished for their aqueducts
that brought the springs of distant mountains’ vales
to their burgeoning cities
that compared could not be
to any other in their times of mighty deeds.
Was such a planting and were the further feats
accomplished with a design at hand,
inspired by Fate,
by the divine Nymphs,
by the divine Buddha, whose sleep
my father's fig's Hymaleyan cousin-trees,
loved to shade in HIS Nirvanic quests,
while HE even asleep,
my lovely neighbouress to impress ?
..............................
While pruning, indeed I saw,
that most of the lower branches
which like a Hebrew-Menorah
rise from a single stem as if to offer to God
WHO to them is indeed LIGHT,
to me is LOVE,
their praying and probing buds,
tended to move in the direction
of my neighbouress’ fence
and over it tresspass as if
in an amourous quest bound ?
Ah, is it perchance that my cunning hand
the pruner’s hand, was also moved by Fate
to cut so as to direct the growth to her
so as to express my delight
in her neighbouringness?
Halas, memory fails to enlighten me,
as when the Buddha in us speaks,
our subconscious alone impressed is,
and memory involved is not,
this if and when the Buddha truly speaks,
but who cares, as LOVE knows no bounds
but is like skyward-directed quantum leaps ?
................................
I am looking forward now to the fig-jam
that she can so expertly and lovingly make for us.
I am sure Buddha, the Christ and even Mohammed
would have loved it and shall love it through my own glee,
as they can all be with me, in me.
La', ila la', illaah Allah !
