did Shiva

or Christ reach

around with

wider arms?

unobjectionable feelings

of affection?

a dumb, and very

inevitable question.

i just know i've wedged

the funeral cards of my

grandparents together.

behind the crevice of a light switch,

dying to live at the same time.

bearing the face of a Byzantine

Christ, twice upholding an

ubhaya mudra.
