Yakṣa's tale

Quit drifting 
It is broad day-light after all

The Yakṣa who spun this daydream
For idle merriment
Put enough desire and pain and suffering in there
To make it palpable

Wake up
The day moves with the
fierceness of an unknown mason's
Clang

Hordes of ambition maraud the streets

Go join them.
