In that house
four walls built			Neither you, nor me,
with our linked limbs		neither man, nor woman		
live you and I 		     neither shiva, nor shakthi		
		It is the Arthanareeswarar
		of our togetherness,		It being, one being
		our house.			our being
						together.
The earth rumbles
 	as the tectonic plates
  		of our pelvic floor
			moves, but the house
				sways and stays put
					this house is an
						organic life form
			Snake like it rises
	             shaking wet rain drops
			off its hair
	            splitting, hair raising
			tingling, shiver like
	            light sliver like, it arises
			our being.        Above the ocean swells
                                 of our undulating bellies
                               over the mountain tops of
                                      our breasts erupting
                                       sweet alkaline lava
                                    through the gorges of
                                that sacred hollow space
                            beneath our adam's apples
	Past the roof of the mouth
		rising high like
          pitched up tents of 
              this inter-galactic firmaments
          Rising through         the subterranean corridors
                     rising through worm-holes
                          linking past and present
                        in the now of the mind-space tunnels
Rising like dew-drops           of the mid-brain glaciers
on lotus pads				
of the ocean floor			In this house 
of the crown of our heads.		four walls built
	                        	of our linked limbs
This house				live you and I
	is no ordinary house, this
		temple of the world's congregation
			this temple of miracles
				of life this
					Emersonian reality.
