Before isolation tears my language to pieces
lay me down in the fertile ground
where fallen emerald-mangoes sing
their illuminating radiance,
and exhausted ploughs are harnessed
by the mayas’ breath.

The reapers have left the golden rice-fields
to the sun’s pervading fortitude.
Time will uproot the dry roots of pride.
Blood will sow the days of refusal
for the wise men know the parables
buried beside the fig tree. And the lepers
know the goodness underneath their skin.

From timeless desertion make a necklace
out of your torn little islands, so
the dispossessed will exchange a tear for a cattle,
a wound for a grain; for every confused cloud
a binding flesh and a robust sinew
(from the crimson rice field, the sunburnt heart).

My child, sweat in the farmer’s rough face:
azure fishbones and stooped bodies,
death before the gasping sea
here is a prairie for your eyes;
a laurel for your feet;
a palm tree for your hands;
a fresh stream for your mouth.
Tell me: the nerves will reject the steel and coat.
Tell me in the cluster of swords a heart demands a speech.

Between deluge and sunrise,
under sweet rosebushes and bitter volcanoes
I will harvest your image
in the three burning lanterns of my cottage.

NY Times:

In the middle of a terrifying desert north of Tibet, Chinese archaeologists have excavated an extraordinary cemetery. Its inhabitants died almost 4,000 years ago, yet their bodies have been well preserved by the dry air.

The cemetery lies in what is now China’s northwest autonomous region of Xinjiang, yet the people have European features, with brown hair and long noses. Their remains, though lying in one of the world’s largest deserts, are buried in upside-down boats. And where tombstones might stand, declaring pious hope for some god’s mercy in the afterlife, their cemetery sports instead a vigorous forest of phallic symbols, signaling an intense interest in the pleasures or utility of procreation.

Natural mummies! Mixed ancestry! Phallic symbolism! Tocharian! Awesome.
