Jaipur

Jaipur

Whole precincts of sculptors
In marble of busts and gods
Incense makers rolling their sticks
Jangles of bangles in loggia'd markets
Vendors of pickles in gallon drums
Trishaws and rickshaws and buses and taxis 
Piles of dust and piles of brick
Goats and pigs and cows and drums
Scooters, saloons, saris, slippers
Kites bounding and racing and bouncing and struggling and sticking 
Cows licking and lowing
Sun stronger then setting
Fried and sweet snacks and tiny cups of tea
Stalls open and closed
Burlap and silks and parcels and bags and boxes on bikes
Trains and trains of thought
Open views and closed views
Flat skies and jagged skies
Forts and walls and ramparts and friezes
Shadows and soaps, swill and gutters
