Gyrations

I am lifting 
your blood-soaked shirt
giving the latitude to planet
which broke the law.

The elite 
wants to know, why  you were
still here, when steam was rising
in golden night ?

An extended
grief overtakes the wind
in the flute. You become a free man
walking naked.

The gyres 
were calibrating the magi. 
An empty niche waits for a Buddha
to take the re-birth.
