  1. Ancient noses
    attended
    by Vaidya Sushrut,
    and a fine piercing
    at a nostril node
    to lessen the pain
    for those bipeds
    mobilizing in life
    to perpetuate generations.

    A nose in
    metal and stone,
    pierced and studded
    in support,
    of the myriads of
    elephants,
    tigers,
    deer,
    and horses,
    unable to breed new generations,
    sacrificed at the altar
    of a human greed
    so terrible,
    that
    the stud sheds itself
    in tears……
