you will wait / I will make you wait / sometimes I don’t wanna be nice …
Let’s log each encounter
With a notch on a bedpost
How long before there’s nothing left of this frame
But shredded wood
Looking like some kind of weird, secretive art installation
No one will understand but us
Ki-ken-tai-ichi you take in through your eyes and your feet at the same time, feeling that floor rumble beneath you
Fumikomi declared with a strong foot decisively says “I am here, I am committed, harmonized, alive”
We symbolically kill, each death of them or us represents us climbing upward
Hidden youth revived
Orchestra brings memories
Winter night brightens
To live in a time of wires, airwaves, satellites
We can touch each others’ minds
When we play catch with our thoughts
Across time and space
Shrinking this planet for our kind
…
My friend told me that after a forest fire,
Blueberries are the first growth you’ll see return.
What a model of resilience and perseverance!
If you can see me
If you can see parts of me that I cannot
Tell me so
Describe them to me
…
Are there good things that make me worthwhile?
Do I have kindness? Empathy?
Do I bring others comfort in times of strife?
Frozen winter path:
This foolish heart beats slowly
To unknown currents
Damp winter drizzle:
This numb heart deaf-blind to the
Late night mysteries
I saw something on a TV show today
That sparked something in me
I felt like I recognized an old friend
That I’ve recently been trying to avoid
And I don’t mean that I’ve seen this show before
…
Distant fog creeping
Longing for the forever
Unattainable
