Disembarking from the plane,
we collect our possessions
and quickly exit the terminal.
India welcomes me by way
of a glistening black raven
magnificently perched on the
roof of a KFC drive-thru
He is as I remembered
loud, rude and belligerent.
Later, I saw thousands of
his cousins arguing over what
will be for dinner.
I must mention again the
beauty of the people.
Their liquid dark eyes
waiting to answer your smile
Waiting, also, to see and
hear your namaste returned
to them.
India, have you missed me
as I have missed you?
India, have you been waiting
my return?

India, we love you! We will return soon
