Clockwork
30th May 2022

Clockwork movements,
of cold blue skies, cirrus clouds and saffron earth,
of sparing the lives of worms,
of teachers, debates, and of living and dying …daily.

Of youth in a larger form,
silhouetted by the seriousness beyond,
tempered by tinkering,
…Potala.

Prompt: Tinkering

Potala Palace, Lhasa
