SILENCE
of the thumb-sized flame
the body burns
the ashes of silence
float on the holy breast
tears pollute

Hello R K, I just thought I'd alert you to the fact that the poet George Szirtes is on his way to India. He's linked to my blog so you could easily follow his progress if you wished. All the best, Gwilym
