The Book of Haiku Revelation

Om

Vedic rites. Vedic
rites and ceremonies taught
by the mother of

Abdul Kalam. All
this, and I provided the
soul of his father.

Medicine and food.
Plants, hymns, butter: Slaughter and
fire, I suggest. His

father was a boss
in the world—operations,
manufacturing,

the world in the will,
the world awarded with will.
I clear all. I hum.

[The recitation from John Coltrane’s “Om,” Chapter 9, Verse 16 of the Bhagavad Gita, via Hindi-Swahili-Urdu-Gujarati-Chinese (traditional), Google translator]
