Chinese EpitaphFlorence Kilpatrick Mixter
S
Near the tomb where she lies
Broods an ancient Buddha with robes of jade and of coral
And curious lapis-blue eyes.
When the west wind sighs
Inscrutable even as the terrible calm of Buddha
Her impassive disguise.
Azure the skies,
And golden the tracery sealing the proud lips of Buddha
As the west wind dies.
