as Sviastoslav the Rus sacker came to know 
the Khazar Khanate knew how to cut a slight
his gilded skull stole the show,
the Vatican went from a marsh...

If you are a Zen Buddhist
a Taoist,
where past wealthy resonance
interdependently governs global developing history
with resilient future health projections,

If you are a Zeroist,
or an in-between Zoroastrian,
not asha (1) and not all druj (0) either,

We arrange our karma, both new and old.

All yellow, yellow   and red, and all red ones

Mom's phone buzzes:
Car arriving in...

Verdant leaves clung to trees; the month was June

Prince Largent was soon to be crowned...
