beneath the dusty clouds
I have not found a robin
except in prose-poetry
where letters and music flew by
the vale now is swollen
and twilight comes descending
the egret’s beak is filled with
fish or symmetrical vertebrates
ancient rocks chuckle to me the
old lies
and I trace my veins a pulsate-beat
to give up all the earthly beasts
Up, up in the sky
A sky dancer passed by
She saw the crocodile slipped back
To the swamp and the water
Cease to ripple with the beat
Of ten-thousand birds churning
Except in prose poetry the heron
Found the egret fondling
And the sky dancer found the robin.
A composite of me and the universe 
what a beautiful story… the twilight comes descending upon the world. Time to contemplate life in the elongated shadows of death.

Prashant. Thank you. When I was young, I used to watch an anime. It was aired in the morning before school. The name of the anime was ‘the sky dancers’ but you know what, they were not birds. They were fireflies. They roam around the sky in groups and they dance to heal the world from pain and loss. Knight fireflies dance up in the sky. But the queen firefly stays in the castle because she can’t remember her dance. She was the most powerful of all and yet she couldn’t dance until she met her fiancee again. Her fiancee who was held captive by the bees for a long time came back and told her how her friends needed her. So she decided to dance for her friends. She practiced in the palace when the other knights were out fighting the evil bees. One day, the fireflies lost against the bees and cried. The queen heard all of them. So even if her dance wasn’t complete, she went to her knights’ rescue. She danced and the bees laughed at her. They thought she was a useless and weak queen. Until she prayed for her friends and danced like it was the best dance ever. And the bees retreated. The queen was the sky dancer and now the most powerful of them all. …Today, I thought about the sky dancer and got inspired to write…

That is a beautiful story. Is it by accident that you are (april)queen too, like the bee queen? I will look for the anime. I still into that stuff.

Oh the queen in my name is real but the bee queen? perhaps. I sometimes wonder about that. although her story somehow resonates mine. ..
