Gautama and Māra
Iniquity is starlight in the wrong
Location or the purest atom gone
Awry, a darkroom with a delving song
Of light inside it, thinking in its dawn.
The sin is not the light itself. Its height
Is not the evil, black the background not
Its deviance, a dissonance the blight
Because of chance or freedom, freedom fraught.
A dirtiness is only dirt because
It’s matter out of place, a kilter lost.
It’s more like interference with the laws
Of mild mutation, demarcation crossed.
A Lucifer or Ahriman will find
A way. The best and twisted, both are twined.
