BRIDGE OF SIGHS
D2 WOMBWELL EKPHRASTIC CHALLENGE





I am heart fire,

the blue flame.

Hold my mirror

in your other hand.

See reflections, 

look for shadows.

There are no others here.

 

I please my buddha soul,

always now, forever.

I squeeze my other finger

I feel no pain.

 

And when I form,

it will be

to open my eyes,

world wide and bright.

 

I see all my lives now,

stretching back far

as a shuffled deck.

 

An ancient game.

There are no others.

Only me, only now.

 

I am a clean soul,

not yet writ.

Pink, no trace

of any original sin.

 

I seek a passing time

to hold against my brow.

To age my wounds

against the wounds of others.

 

Only too soon

will I be human again.
