night one: mumbai





the night of my arrival: a thousand moons (one for every puddle) shone up into the sputtery, blustery end-of-moonsoon midnight as a thousand small parades converged dancing at the seashore to toss a thousand elephant headed Ganeshes into the ocean. flower petals in my hair, red gulal powder on my shoulders, and betel nut staining my lips.
