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
