The Coral Sutra

The Coral Sutra
is the misty ring,
the milky halo
around the Moon.
Its intention is
to remain opalescent
with a touch of
bleed of
thread of
rose.
It measures nothing,
learning emptiness,
creating the hollow
in the manger
with all the reknown
and applause
of a desert flower
eager to open
dialogue
with the starfolk
at
midnight.
