the air refreshed
and folded by several
degrees as if to storm,
the light became
slightly shaded as if
through olive glass
but remained lemon
in the distance, the
silence dampened
like mist as minute
heather flowers turned
to dawn, and all the
abandoned instruments,
their boxes taut to struts,
their strings resigned
to tonnage, discarded
over couches, before
windows, each creaked
and let a single note that
ne’er had pitched and
held – chords
o’er room and vale;
it was time the
effervescent crown
were passed to the
Regent and the
Bodhisattva take
birth in the world
bevelled up and out of the Arya Lalita Vistara Nama Mahayana Sutra: before the Buddha was born a prince in a principality in India, he was residing in a heavenly realm (with the gods), but his vows and wishes over endless waves of previous lifetimes urged him to one final birth to consummate them all in Enlightenment; the Regent is Maitreya, the next Bodhisattva to take birth in this world and show Enlightenment … in future
