egos reduced to a garland of skulls
bite the bullet and transcend this body
massage the damp dirt breaking earthly bonds
the autumn wind’s first sigh
purple scales drift off into the dream seas
morning scuffle mynahs tumble off the roof
left to my devices to reimagine the seasons
at dusk feet deep in cold fires
come autumn the world still burns
