Ruins (Aus)


Ruins still lie
Along that road
Celtic patterns
Round eyes his desert grave

Graveyards lie near the ruins
Of great Tocharian cities
Features still after 3500 years
Shifting sands uncover a corpse
Mutilated in some act of war
So finely preserved by the desert
That traces of tears
Were found on the face

Ancient European faces
A swastika decoration
Horses
Saddle

Iron

Remains of a lost civilization
desert of the Takla Makan
The first Chinese emperor
In his arid grave
Legendary figures of great height
With deep set blue green eyes

Romance of the three kingdoms
The valiant hearted
Riding alone on scarlet hare
out of the gates of Ch In
To weep at gold grain mound
By funeral trees
Inscrutable that vaulted azure
Arching over Earth
This is the way the world wags
In our nine provinces
Gleaming ore from Scarlet Hill
Hero of our time
Green eyed general
You well know the will
Goddesses ghosts demons
