lotus metaphors

lotus charms as that of palms placed together

the red of nail and finger, the shape.

the red flowered lotus is not the dark blue flower.


filaments are lumen which the lotus eye perceives

& the crease of the garment is the interior distress

as one plucked from water, drooping


fragrant, exhalation as of a child's palm-clap


or: a lopped head, or the tip of a tusk, or spear


traveling from one war to another


its sharpness quick growing as lotus in new distant waters.


though the leaf repels, as words made but that do not stick

untaken advice and old remorse.


the night blooming white lotus is a dark complexioned lord
