Pelagic Mandala Birds

Beyond-offing
Bounty without source,
We swirl and eddy before you as the
World’s hidden orbit -
Coating drear crag and salt crust in
Fecund demand and fornication.

Wintering in grey silence,
We listless-pick at plankton and
Shoal-speck like mendicant friars.

Then
Deep-brain, pineal-eye
Skull-blister cracks open
Light into song-centre and florid
Hormonal wardrobe -

Plumping shrunken selves into
Buxom summer vigour;
Steeping leg and beak in
Mandala saffron of
Life-death turning.

We are the Great Wheel:
Thousandfold ember-flow,
Counterflow -
Whirl upon whirl,
Whirl within whirl -
Eight-figured eternity
Held momentarily as it
Melts into air.
