SIFTING THE ASHES
the eye is on fire
the forms the eye
sees are on fire
fire of passion
fire of possession
fire of hatred
fire of infatuation
birth, death, sorrow,
lamentation,
misery, grief, despair
pride, fear, exhaustion,
ennui,
gluttony, sloth,
are all on fire
the ear is on fire
sounds are on fire
the nose is on fire
smells are on fire
the body is on fire
all the tangible
world is on fire
the mind is on fire
ideas are on fire
heaven and hell
and all your angels
and devils
are on fire
