A Cloth of Fine Gold

by Dorothy Walters
(1928 - ) Timeline

Original Language
English
Secular or Eclectic
Contemporary

You may think
that first lit flame
was the ultimate blaze,
the holy fire
entered at last.

What do you know of furnaces?
This is a sun that returns
again and again, refining, igniting,
pouring your spirit
through a cloth of delicate gold
until all dross is taken
and you are sweet as
clarified butter
in god's mouth.
