Cremation

The Atman is eternal,
Indestructible and unknowable.
Unborn, eternal,
Unchangeable and primeval,
The Atman is not slain when the body is slain.
The Atman can never wetted nor killed.

Be like Jeeves
She said
So we flitted
And arrived
In the beat
Before conscious
Desire.

Simply
And carefully
Are in usage
Complex
And never
Completely
What they mean.

Returning
To the specter
Of a tumbling
Curtain.
Conversing
With strangers
In the disguise
Of yourself.

Reinvention
Is the very
Hardest act
But what else
Is there to do?
