DESHAN’S “COMPLETION OF STUDY”<br />
Over a spangled shoulder the sambista crooks her mouth:<br />
Deshan! no flowers on this wall.<br />
At the end of the line, a bright response twitters above rustling<br />
forms, dips down for a drink.<br />
The sea is the street: the whole city pours through.<br />
A thousand scampering feet, fingers pointing to just one moon.<br />
When a foot meets earth with no hesitation, eons of toil are wiped<br />
away.<br />
Only brocade? More fish to hook? Deshan!<br />
Yemaya's watery hand snagged the fat pink one flapping on your face.<br />
