The tortoise and the sun

As the sun climbed the temple banyan the tortoise would carry the world on back as in apocalyptic times, a flood coming and a kind earth quaking with disaster.

We offer our eyes closed and in prayer ,our palms joined in a tortoise gesture. We then go forward to the sun in silver, the sun god on chariot of seven horses behind temple tank of immersed bodies torsos in prayerful baths, eyes closed.

We offer prayers to the sun in whiskers lighting our eyes with camphor flames. Our silver eyes are for his safe keeping.
