Lotus Weavers
winding skeins
in the cathartic rains
floor looms color the rainbow
spiritualism's infallibility
lotus stalks tranquility
to learn from; not a pyramid scheme

sacred robes for the monks not a scrap wasted
we have choices
too many with empty voices
shrines are for worship; politics for fires
