Being with an insanely jealous person is like being in the room with a dead mammoth.

The exercise I do now is a mammoth change for me because I never did any exercise ever.

I have a book of buildings from 25,000 BC. These are huts built out of mammoth bones. These buildings were beautifully made, from the bones of the body into shelter.

I was a little doubtful about the propriety of going to the Mammoth Cave without a gentleman escort, but if two ladies travel alone they must have the courage of men.

One will find oneself as…

Important to sea-men,
Indifferent to shore-men
And binding to its service men,
Stands there a mammoth lighthouse.

Holy to devotees,
Silly to atheists
And a handy to gods men,
Stands there a temple.

Something to some,
Nothing to some,
A nuisance to some,
One will find oneself as.

The Buddha, above the destruction

Buddha was not hit when his mammoth icon was hit.
Buddha did not weep when his antique stone was split.
He never advocated that he would live in idols.
You, the hitter, wounded your fist,
And in the process wiped the legacy.
[The fundamentalists of Afghanistan damaged the statue in fury]

I am floored down..!

I am floored down
By the persistent stings
Of small small worries!

Even the smallest worry waves
Erode my banks of rollicking spirits!

But-
Mammoth calamities
In vice-like grip shake you
With cyclonic furies !

However...
Your silence
Never gets shaken
Nor uprooted!

O. tell me-
How deep are your Roots !

The Sulk

Lapis lazuli:
like a crazy theme of
hostile doctrine,
spawning a fierce battle
of bulge.

It was scary
like a scrawny lizard
climbing on the breasts.

The hoarse retreat of the arm,
when the lamb did not
squeal under the machete.

Poking in frozen mud,
to find the footprints of a mammoth,
when trees were bleeding.

From the biography of an unknown woman: xxxvi

She stood on desolate shores
...And looked up
The darkness of the sky
Appeared as if filtered through
The sieve of glow-worm-stars
And the hill yonder looked
A mammoth heap of darkness
She tried to trace their names
He wrote on the smooth
Sea-washed damp sands...

'How everything in life seems
As if a moment ago,
My life is a tale written on water...! '

And she traced her way
Through the coal-dark sands...
