chant for spring in the north

Forsythia

now pollen stung

and hallowed,

sinks

her muddied knees

on ice

as ground

leaks sun-hot sound.


gate, gate

So I bow

gate, gate

as I sow.


Primula

are  parasols.

Yellow pillars

 are daffodils

parasam

'mid para sums

gate, gate

of crocus corms.


gate, gate

Oh body's gate!

gate, gate

A bodhi's borne

gate, gate

on blood gold May

gate, gate

and buttercups.



Bodies, somas,

body's pulsed

solomon's sealed

in svaha's house.
