Vigilant

Coup sur Cou

Wu Wei

Feuilles Mortes

Encore La Guerre

Sichuan Scenery

Pegasus Ex-voto

Chichen Itza

Kufi Swirl

Bezelik

Ruins raging, jolted by dunes,

drift toward burning blizzards,

dismantlers of the void

perforated by memories.

Sun crumblings

plastered on the raised rejects of the sad earth—

even loyal shadows abandon them.

Where to scoop up some ghastly deceitful

ghost sand in order to recover

our karmic ferrymen

dissolved in an unspeakable alchemy?

Lotus Sutra

STAINED GLASS FROST ON PIERS OF MOORED LIPS,

their secrets in suspense.

The sun is scuttled into pocket crevices,

locus of the moltings of the void

Strata-encrusted eyes—

solstices weaned of memories

drilled by

fanatics searching for transitory prophecies

A sole cat at

the edge of time

crouches in wait for ruins.

Taoist Evocations

THE SUN STUMBLES AGAINST THE ANCHORED INK.

The page bursts into a fertile mire of continuing eclipses.

Blackness springs back, detoured by tortured shadows.

Eyelids barricade themselves.

Red fury of the unseen

   grave-dredger of memories
