Rinsing

Showers fall through the spaces left in jambs.
They fall through the apartment window
through its panes and chinks in the panes.

 If I could be changed into a fish
like a longish thin cucumber,
you would readily cut me
into four slim slices
and wash me
to salify.

Full burst comes from the lowering clouds.
Mountains are rinsed thoroughly;
people living on the edges suddenly become
afraid of the nullahs and rivers.

It is Gandhi.
it is an Alexander.
it is something else, a monk-hero, a beggar-hero
or what.

Fools and judges of fools swarm
all over the surface of globe.

Flashes would clamp incredible credentials
on the foolish-masques.

How may I remove the scabs that
float on the lucid stream,
rubbish that gets out of flooded drains? 

A flash comes as if from nowhere. Flotsam,
jetsam, scabs, husk of scabs, algae—
the float of every kind.

A flash falls on them
without respite.
