Home
At the beginning believed
home. A scrutiny beneath
revealed cracking,
molten wood
The still eyes of the feral
returned, throwing live
queries.
& all my prates
ably discovered by you
from inside the glass rack.
Summer had long eloped
but the floor was still
burning.
On the road now
neighboring white snow,
fully sated
Arrivals
Arrivals are always hazy,morning mist.
Patience takes a beating
like the hapless child on pavement,
waiting for boiled rice.
Arrivals are seldom, like
the flower that blooms once in
every fourteen years.
But expectations have some
irresistible aroma, you are drawn to,
like a possessed soul.
The aroma keeps you travel
in the barren, harvested field
in a melancholic, winter evening.
Tectonic Shift
Dance rhythms reverberated
from below the earth
Tectonic plates are shifting
… enlarged gaps …
In the middle of a dark shift
the dancer is busy, performing
When did you last show up?
Memorabilia failed to answer
Sure the show’s on, in another part
of the world, the shift has no effect
I’m following the dancer here …
Eternally, by the side of the ocean
