Poems By Arjava

BRAZIERS of aromatic fire,

Balsams and odorous leaves

And myrrh and costly gums

Breathe forth blue wisps of gyre,

Proffer what Height receives,

Await what answer comes ;

Until the silence-hearted prayer

Of blueness offers up

Commingling and release :

Quivering expectant air

Within the sky-rimmed cup

Borders the Vast, the Peace.
