The gods smile down at me
Fixed benevolent molded forgiving painted divine printed loving
The dry caked bloody copper kum kum disfiguring Lakshmi the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity
The fragile brown spider suspension of old jasmine strings worn proudly around Ganesha, Remover of Obstacles
the dispersed ash and unburied stumps of deceased incense sticks burying the veena of Saraswathi the goddess of Art and Learning
And still
The gods smile.
