Tame the Turbulent

Drink the sky.

        It contains our wishes;

Single strands of teeming times

        Dampen the ceilings

Of eagle claws.

Hold the earth.

        It whispers our minds;

Dark dawns of spacial signs

        Swirl the curtains

Of tiger pelts.

Prick the sea.

        It strengthens our fears;

Frail feathers of soft songs

        Free the temple

Of wolf howls.

Cusp the lake.

        It weakens our guilt;

Ten tendrils of crimson kites

        Blow the night

Of horse eyes.

Bless the sun.

        It comforts our pain;

Aging ash of elapsed eons

        Burn the world

Of snake tails.
