59.

I hope you find the words

to shape your spirit,

be it a white castle up

among the clouds or a home

whose windows are madly

in love with the calm sea.

I hope you find purpose

seamless as if you

are unbound to anyone,

and yet here I am drawn to you

in ways fate is tethered

to loft balloons.

I hope you find yourself,

the kind that made me realize

I never needed to drift again

the moment when your heart

anchored me in its place

and there; I found myself.

61.

Maybe I've lost my perception of time

and I wondered

if it is really 3:49 AM

beating away at my heart

steadily--as if the moment

went imperfectly still

and the whispers fell through the cracks of

each history retelling itself 

with the language of letting go.

You see, my bones are poetry wrapped--

tightly to those places where words

mend what gravity could not.

Displaced as I am

as all things must be,

the sun takes its time

to rise and become relative once again.

Now I have a legit reason to sketch a crazy smile across my face for one of the bloggers I idolized here followed me back. Wow!

Serein

mattsjustaroundthecorner asked you: Serein (light rainfall)

in basque, we call it sirimiri : cirrus a folktale falls in menagerie of red grapes, lilac reeds curled by cannonade this upturned niagra shaken slowly into a river of mist, its felt-tip fingers in persian calligraphy this faint roseate cusp tugged over the citadels sleeping inside rugged sinew of summer-beaten cliffs we will have this - petrichor, tea-colored puddles, willows wisp in a dance of the seven veils everywhere else, the world will wait at edge of intention each moment is handcrafted         just as this curtain anterior, fallen over the plain just as this small prayer we shall call  this rain

mattsjustaroundthecorner asked you: Dude. Just awesome. Quick question. saw that 6 word poem about the death march. You Filipino or somehow you just know tagalog?

For that poem [here], someone asked me to write about witnessing 'a ghostly death march', or something like that; my only obvious thought was to the Bataan March during WW2, in which Japanese POW's were marched, for several days, across the Philippines, most of whom died along the way. So while I don't know the tagalog (Filipino) language, that six worder clearly needed to. At any rate, I used Google Translate until I could find a poem that translated into and out of English cleanly-- in six words, of course.
