Urban Worship




trash bins rattle like Buddhist temple bells

calling to morning devotions



coffee water boils in chant

each burst bubble releases a prayer



meditate upon transformation

as beans transubstantiate water



dodge the cat as I go out the door

Durga must be near



huddle with strangers at the bus stop

our darshan a holy lack of eye contact



like the sacred pause riding the elevator

our worship in the communion of silence
