FIRES OF FLESH
by
Durlabh Singh
Where the sacred fires of flesh
Burn steady in mountain sojourn
Coral of the stones and the grass
Inscribing signatures in antique brass.
Across bluish waters of the lake
Reflections of the shaders alive
Seated on a wide wooden throne
Some unknown figures of Isis
Before the symmetrical fountains.
Here are the worlds
Of gods and demons
Of hazes and visibility
The shades and the unborn
Spirits of the dead long gone.
On certain nights
Opening the purple door
In the house of memory
Where a secret is born.
Drunk of the wilderness
Sharpening the pointed horn
Settled for a new awakening
In translucent light of the dawn.
