XVI. Sur la montagne
With the imminent past
I walk up in cold
down in cold, with
sweat on my brow
remove coat, vest, scarf
make this nearly final effort
pass through
bedroom alcoves, piles of burnt
and unburnt trash
stench and fear.
I prepare an offering
if it is needed
try to keep my skull
from the stone.
I am surrounded now by
gold leaves shaking in the wind
the emptiness of the season.
A faraway ice-covered rock
pokes its face at me.
Not enough to quench the pink clarity
in this gravid morning of indulgences.
I blanch in the absent sun
the crystal-hung haze
filled with smoke.
My watch has stopped.
