XXX.

The sense memory: cruising Tōfugaura, Bastille, lamenting,

but if you close your eyes, does it always feel like nothing  changed at all? And there I am.

Prompt: write a poem reflecting on times you’ve heard the same song or same band throughout your lifetime.

Earth Song: Waka or Yamato-Uta

“Hark! The call of the heavens, the earth, the sea...” —Ushiwaka, Okami

Earth

Flute music floats down like a leaf upon the breeze. The forest is calm. We could reminisce, but you? You just want to pick a fight.

Sea

You keep showing up spouting half-baked prophecies, crashing around, loud as the waves on the sea cliffs, sad as the ghosts in the deep.

Heavens

The past weighs on you, but I would rather you be your space-cadet self. Let me give you my shoulder to cry on, and to climb on to keep your head in the clouds.

Ancient Japanese Poetry: Bussokusekika (Prayer in Stone)

Bussokusekika — “Poem of the Buddha’s Footprints.”

Carved into stone. Spoken downward like a single exhale. Part prayer. Part memory. Part offering.

Written while listening to quiet Japanese lo-fi. Let it be gentle. Let it be enough.

Rimasta sola Con il tuo destino Sul ramo spoglio Uno scroscio di pioggia E cadesti a terra Altro sogno infranto
