The Blue Ointment
Of Her Hands



words from Adi Da's The Mummery Book
performance: January, 1995— Naitauba
(with Adi Da attending)
music by Chris Tong
(rough cut from the rehearsal tape)
 
You want to make Her Open —
like recessions
of the Sea.
And She will trace
Your feeling,
in the blue ointment
of Her hands.
She will Speak
to You —
and Call You Wonderful.
That Sounds Her anklet jewel,
in the sand.
Her Love will Ring around
the Spire of a Swan —
And Wind Your Flowers
through the Sea.
