Mirabai in the Mountains

September 23, 2021 in wild words, poetry, nature

So I climbed up there with that wild old gal thinking:

two drunk beauties like us will surely

snag Krishna with our eyes.

Reading the very wonderful sixteenth century Indian poet Mirabai, on a sunny September day in the Pyrenees
