Parmarth Niketan Ashram,
India, 10-day retreat, March 2007.

by Jaya Ashmore

Between orange schoolhouse—boys in yellow—and parking lot/cricket field,
our meditation hall.
In the parking lot 8 white cars wear red VIP police lights, and
8 white rabbit “use me” trash cans peek through the fence.
Guards let everyone past the sign: “Silence. No entry without
Permission.”
Bells, loudspeakers, fire prayers.
Green lychee blossoms. Green lychee shade.
