Thinning

Undating the memories 
in final push to cauldron, I said: 
let the words burn to ashes, 

in terminal journey, 
of eternal flight. 
You turn a blind eye to sun’s venom. 

Moon, the blue baby in a casket 
rubbing the white clouds 
for a trek to intoxication. 

I ignore the opium field, 
to collect the bullets 
and bones of infants. 

Seeking peace in a simple 
shade of hymn. 
Perhaps stars are listening.
