Elephanta Island

Insolent monkey!
  
Stole that chili corn cob right out of Grace's hand

   as we climbed the stone teps of Elephanta Island
         lined by the trinkets of India
            ("Very good price, madam")
   On our way to see Shiva

Oh great god,
     who dances the world into being
             who has dreads and smokes a chillum
                     who is worshipped as a stone-cold phallus
This journey has not been easy

Why I gotta fall in love with the Destroyer?
