winter rain

    pilgrimage
    a thousand chants ...
    winter, the long winding road

    cawing crows
    temple bells glow
    camphor fumes~

    fire rhythms grow
    wild in the Vedic chants~
    Maha-Rudram proceeds~

    Chidambaram~
    alone in the altar of
    the Infinite Lord~

    cold, siren wails
    forever, during the night
    lonely, silent footsteps
