The Damaru, His little drum, is many things in one.

The Damaru,
His little drum,
is many things
in one.
It is of course His beat to boot,
to match with Krishna's lilting flute.
But Tantrists say,
it’s the triangles two
that signify
Him and Her,
(In Chinese, Yin and Yang…
Wei and Wu.)
In repose, before creation,
Me and you.
It’s an hourglass!
From top we slip down through
to
Land.
And thus, time, is to wait for the hand Divine,
to downside up again.
