Gloss


My life is long
and it obeys no-one–the rug

I saw in Lhasa
                           / the heavens

the calligraphy of flames

I pick up my hammer
for my prayers are malleable

*

The strange, hellish sun
blisters my resolve–the vase
holding every wilting flower

stranded
dying of thirst

                           / the endless day

I have felt the excruciating, primal loneliness of God
