Mango (Raga Mohanam)

from Raga Poems by Gordon Korstange & Joel Veena

lyrics

Mango, ragas Mohannam and Bhupali

To peel away - the green skin blushed with red.
and reveal the inner ripe pulp -
pale golden core of delight
the smooth honeyed flesh of our dream body.

To sink into that dream body -
and taste the days we knew as children
who devoured all of the hours
when we drank the sun down.

Heedless of our sticky hands
we feast on the sweet meat
surrounding the mango's core,
our lips smeared
with the shreds of golden flesh that cling
