Heraclitus' Baptism

(written 1:00pm Saturday, August 4, 2001)

In the Citadel
Of the Ephemeral
The Glory
Of the Transitory,
Changeless in constant changing,
Hymns itself glorious,
Perennially evanescent
And nascent,
A holiness notorious.

Escher's river
Flows back to it's source
And we are ever
Baptized in it's course.

- Sitaram
