The Manohar

Learnt this in school a while ago.
Randomly remembered it today, found the verse here.

It is from Arun Kolatkar's Jejuri.

The door was open.
Manohar thought
it was one more temple.

He looked inside.
Wondering
which god he was going to find.

He quickly turned away
when a wide eyed calf
looked back at him.

It isn't another temple,
he said,
it's just a cowshed.
