Summary:
Prayer Wheel If I forget you, oh Jerusalem… let my tongue cleave to
my mouth. Two cauldrons of incense, a dozen pilgrims on straw mats,
one young nun, a frayed string to tie her legs together, an old man,
beribboned hair, two rags of paper to slide his hands, smooth the
leap: Erect. Flung down. Full body worship of all that is holy.
Inside the Jokhang Temple hundreds of yak butter lamps uncoil the
creased faces of aged monks, young acolytes in meditation. In Tibet,
on prayer-stained stones the silent shuffle of prostrations uncleaves
my tongue. To turn the prayer wheel.
