Clasp the roaming wind, bend
its sinews to the east; it is not
its destiny to
sip the sop of Sisyphus . . .
Clasp the wind –
tease its veins . . . its flow,
towards the hearth where
the embers fail.
Ferry the cumulus;
wind-hinged vats of black milk –
storm cloud-blobs, which beat
their drip-drip-drip;
drops distilled from ashes
of a cremated creed . . .
And the wind goads the clouds
to balsam,
to knead,
immortal plumes from the ashes . . .
