The following poem appears in our Spring/Summer 2018 issue. The entire issue is available for purchase in print or digital format.
i.
Later, I will follow
his footprints their last
hundred meters toward the stone marker
where the eager crowd waited
and later
I will witness
chrysanthemums glowing
where his son
ignited his pyre
but now I only
watch the film, thinking
no as the beautiful
thin man emerges
to greet
his assassin.
ii.
Gandhi, Gandhi-ji,
I have learned so little.
