Mahashmashana, (महाश्मशान (Mahāśmaśāna)
sanskrit—the great cremation ground, Varanasi, India
held sacred,
the cremation ground
acknowledged, honored
here we “pass away”
instead of “die”
many embalmed
bodies clothed, wrapped,
hidden in hefty silk-lined
boxes underground
cremating pollutes air
burying takes space
how to dispose
of 8 billion humans?
