Breathing Starlight

Poetry

From Robert Dhiraj’s poetry collection, The Cymbal Clash of Sky

Beacon with stars

 

breathing starlight,

eating nettle,

the ancient masters surpass wonder

 

as their bodies crumble to dust,

they look everyone in the eye,

knowing the light in their heart

can never be darkened

 

and we watch our faces fall to bone,

our heads fill with prolix matter,

the ancient masters show us the way,

beacons

on a windswept mountain
