Reply to a friend's inquiry

dearest,

soon? sooner than the moon shall return to June
but no -- my route   as self-conceived
threads first through the New World (as it's called)
California & Washington DC
and then back again to China!
the Gundecha Brothers have agreed
to my plan of bringing them to the Middle Kingdom
they fly to Beijing from Melbourne in October
I meet them, we hob-nob, they sing, I smile
only then will India consent
to take me again in her hushed embrace

am spending time with my parents yes --
right now en route to lunching w/ same
they both take daily infusions of dark medicine
brewed with antiquity floating in suspension

yours,
d.i.
