The Eternal Coaxing

 

Condensation On Petals
For Akio Kimura
 
 
 
 
waterless money
flowers in the little smoke
 
dreaming those hands
into the bells of the air
 
the river beacons
the rain of terror
 
to exhaust its heat
in my bloodless mind.
A way in the mirror
the half-hidden lake
 
will not trouble
the half-hidden blind
 
unlike the stale drops
captured in a marble cup
 
drawn deep within
to feed the head
 
dreaming these hands
flowers in the little smoke
 
the half-hidden lake
in my bloodless mind.
 
moneyless water
flowers in the marble cup.

 


THE ETERNAL RETURN
