Oh the winter days, or Monsson in the Bay of Bengal

This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.

There is no moon;
the sun has left for lands unknown;
the circle of the stars and planets
has been erased from heaven.
Of day and night
all distinction is obscured.
What is this crime
committed by the serried ranks of clouds!

- Yogeshvara, from  Anthology of Sanksrit Court Poetry by Vidhyakara
