nominalism is a liquid kuhi
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
solomonic column, white
scraped clean of spirals
here lies a similar name
safe, lamp-lit passage
maybe tomorrow, a shine
as a flute flourished
flushed garlands atop, around
us wet down, barley sugar
too extravagant with hope?
frugal enough with old dreams?
preserved, these dreams flower white
as sitting exhorts us, still
as a liturgy cooing
its soliloquy
new and different
a silent weeping, whisper
to recover this –
an ice-sheet soul, white
flash, bright glacial creak
