Sailing to Bombay,

sailing in Mumbai —

mum’s the word,

Mumbai’s the world.

Night in Mumbai –

indeterminacy restored.

The mutiny — five stops

on the western coast.

Let it rain, let it adorn.

Residents call it home.

Indian safari: what not

to do. Dharavi child —

Rumanna’s rubies, rivers

–classrooms in seams.

Objectives — the gates

of Ismat Towers –

found poets on tour

in Mumbai | Bombay.
