the whole city in all its corruption,
all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
has become a temple,

An’ wash the cups an’ saucers up, an’ brush the crumbs away,”

and wash them with your salt,
you will curl between sand-hills
you will thunder along the cliff
break retreat get fresh strength
gather and pour weight upon the beach.”
