Mountain

Inhale.


The thin-breathed breeze tickles the chimes as the incense sticks lose themselves to each cloud’s respiration.


Exhale.


From high blue heaven, stony slopes dipped in white guard the temple’s edges.


Inhale.


Red lacquer rails groan, like growling dragons, ever watchful.


Exhale.


Holder of silver, and giver of salt, the monk’s tongue tastes it all.


Eyes open.


Body bows to the jagged crowned king.
