2010

'07 What did I tell you in 2007? The celebration of time together now done, Bent on leaving, unwilling to stay, Behind your childish eyes. I told you not to go. Rhetoric patriotic riotic feud poured From a hormone-fueled mouth, As you promised me, the tree, our class, king country, and God That you would return safely. You promised us you would not die. '08 I reasoned with you, I begged you, But you went anyway. Maybe it was the figure you cut in uniform, Maybe it was the red blood blood-red rhetoric already half false, Maybe it was a mind half rotted, finally cracking under the pressure of a consta

Virginal Year

It feels like poetry for a new beginning: Running in slow motion, Laying a fresh path in the Tentative first snow of a virginal year. Your hand shapes a safe home in which my Shivering fingers nestle; You sow a field of forgetting Over the weary road behind. Untouched and unafraid, this Unfamiliar unconditionality, this Darkness so vivid, this Uncertainty so certain. We build that which is From that which we were. In the sanctity of our year, In the unwritten and pure, You and I are as new in this moment As ever we have been. We are here. We are now. We are.

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

Entry for the November saijiki contest over at the haiku club

Read more about the contest in the clubs journal here: [link]

Also check out the other contest on sonorous sounds: [link]

Form: Tanka
Region: Sweden, Europe, northen temperate zone
Season: Autumn/winter
Category: The sky and the heavens
Kigo: pitter-patter I made this one up myself. Pretty much describes the whole autumn/winter shift here and, I suppose, in many other countries too. Probably exists a traditional one much like it.
Description: The sound of rain. In this case on an umbrella in particular.

For those unfamiliar with Totoro this wikipedia article [link] will clear things up. Read it, and then watch the movie.
