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
