A Faded Postcard is a Tanka Daydream
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
but of the firewalker
of his frame, a rush of flame
look at both faces, closed eyes
this, what you were born into
to grasp, that expectation
a forward hesitation –
to love only once
to endure, outlast these worlds
a lowing, literal love
not the bitter deathsong ends
not the judging eyes
a milk bath before
fresh plate of malai kofta
look at the firewalker –
dusted feet and flake, embers
as windblown, the water oak
next to the winged spindle tree
Pirene’s Fountain
