\nliving outside that circle
\ngliding far from the heads in chatter
\nthat only resemble the pattern of Mandir Temple
\nin whitened marble;
\nAn outsider<\/p>\n
\na dark star- an angel from another world.
\nWhen I feel the Crow has left my side
\nwhite feathers grow back into skin
\nam I not that white star ? invisible in daylight
\nat night a fading stream just that echo of a falling pin.<\/p>\n
