All type demons recently infested-pested
this formerly peaceful forest,
they rub their chummy-tummy
at the thought of eating sages dead raw.

Playful book design and impish "gore galore!" content:
"A gonad fell in a sage's outstretched palm,
urine dribbled the beard of another...
The delicacy of the story forbids further embellishments of this nature "

"The sages felt unduly boo-hooey" - Nagra's wordplay is a delight. #Indic #poetry

Grrlbrarian Is this a graphic novel version? Or just a super-cool GN style cover? 7y
Lindy @Grrlbrarian No pictures, unfortunately, but some playful text placement. A great graphic novel version is 7y
Grrlbrarian Stacked the graphic novel! Thanks for the recommendation, @Lindy 7y
Lindy @Grrlbrarian You're welcome. I also really like the version told from Rama's wife's viewpoint in graphic novel: 7y
Grrlbrarian Stacked that one too, @Lindy 😊 7y

Though each human trace is erased
from the universe and the Earth,
though each corpse be million years under,
Mother Earth will always bear
an impress of every foot that trod anxiously
and ecstatically, through good and evil,
upon her...
Upon her.... till Kala consume all again.
