Orient of the West: by the rose-petal incense at Altar: Rites of Byzantium--

SURVEILLANCE, CRIME & PHILOSOPHY & CULTURE


To & For Christina-my immortal Auntie-as 'akin' to Flesh & Blood-of her Kindness & Great Generosity--

 Her eyes of the diamond
violet celadon
jade of  green
shivering cold blue eyes-
of the expanse sky
she bows deeply
genuflects to
the Altars, with
fragrance of rose-lotos petal
of Kyung Jue--Silla House- incense-
to bear the broken hilt
which crushes the head
of the serpent--(of a sword)
which she executes
the Word-to heal,
Salve, salve Theotokos,
of  Pushkin & Gogol-
& the Lantern Staff of
SS Cyril & Methodius-
O the  Cathedral of Byzantium
& Kiev-
of SS Chyrsystom & Origen
Vladymir &
the Buddhayogacara of
Northern India to China--
the Tripikata-Scripture
of dog barking, and tears
in his eyes.

I shall meet her with
my mom, during office hours
of Aunty C EH C-
drinking fine herbal Korean tea +
sweet rice cakes +
vegetable macro-biotic
sprouts.
