Inside within the curling white smoke

reaching and coiling back within

what’s spiraling inside me,

this clay teapot-moment in time

cracks,

flashes back to the past

and then turns

to vibhuti ash, scattered,

scattered like cloud-thoughts

scuttling across the lightening sky

of a storm mind

 

 

Pale faces loom opaque against

the clear dark night, pearled repast

people, pulling the tides of my heart high,

like phases of the moon might do

when viewed and reviewed

from Konya’s purpled hills,

watched

and watched again from

frozen Arctic shores, from Saami doors.

 

 

Like Death’s Head moths,

everyone I've ever loved lights

on the flower of my remembrance

and their sweetness and bitterness,

their kindness and cruelty

all open at once in me and I am touched

and anointed in Mercy.

 

 

Beloved ones’ voices

reverberate from within vibrant masks,

vibrate from the tomb of timelessness

then dissolve as the visage’s I envision

swirl around me

like blossoms,

like petals falling

in embered euphemisms for something

or someone

gone cinder

in the fire-y refrains of an ancient Celestial Song.
