"From Boots to Chuppuls"

A Purse from Patna's Disneyland
Rests on the Chair of Starbucks in Cupertino
A Digital Camera clicks through Delhi, Mumbai, and Patna
Capturing the faces of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandmothers
Nieces, Nephews, Babies, Streetchildren, and Domestic workers
Two Floral Suitcases Circled the Globe,
Traveled Continents,
Books of Eastern Philosophy were Read from India to the U.S.
Jewels from Janpat
Incense from Delhi
Chuppuls from Huthua Market Landed on my Feet,
I Have Returned Home
Loved and Stronger
With a Heart more Open and Feet more Grounded.
Thank you.
