Sarnath

The round cakes of cow dung
Stuck up on the side of the wall
Reminded me of early Buddhist
Colonnades, illustrating
Jatarka stories, which I
Saw in the museum at Calcutta.
Footprints in the red sand
Of Ashok Nagar, Bhubaneswar
Made me think of Gupta
Patterns, carved in sandstone
From Sarnath.
