Tahmina Maula
melt
(after the Kyaiktio Pagoda, The Golden Rock, Myanmar)
twilight falls against an august sky
first stars blink
last light stirs
the air chimes
with the blue sigh of night
the many are joined
by a golden thread
a single strand
a fine hair's breadth
on wind-song we become one
then melt
into the other
become breath
