Today my bed arrived (a mammoth!) and Bjork's new album Medulla (!)
now I'm waiting for my friend Kerry the masseuse to call me.
from Sanskrit Love Poetry edited by W.S. Merwin:
The goddess Laksmi
loves to make love
to Vishnu
from on top
looking down she sees
in his navel a lotus
and on it Brahma, the god
but she can't bear
to stop
so she puts her hand
over Vishu's right eye
which is the sun
and night comes on
and the lotus closes
with Brahma inside.
