Along the cracked sidewalks
and traffic choked streets,
beneath the winter barren
of leafless trees,
I gather the litter of holiness,
tossed aside and left for trash.

With scraps of paper, messages
forlorn and forgotten,
I piece together a mandala,
rose window of pilgrim light
for the solstice dark cathedral.
