Krishna Returning With The Herd

Mohan comes herding the cows,
crown of peacock feathers on his head,
garland of forest flowers on his chest,
in his hand a wooden staff,
his body wrapped in cow-dust.

A band around his waistand from his feet the sound of ankletsthere amidst his cow-boy

Shyam comes.

His yellow garments standing outlike lightning amidst the clouds.
