Those
with map
reach
destination
and
the map-less
lose
their way;
that’s
easy dictum
the
going-without-saying
of
come-without-saying,
but
this Kataragama
destination
of pilgrim
resident
of deity
landscaped
with faith
and
all its colors and moods,
creatures
and habitat
is
named and nameless
of
freshly swept ancientness
home
to all
no
less home to each,
like
all things sacred,
all
things feared.
