knife

April 16, 2024 /

∴ 
Keen for mischief, the rat plots its course
Nimble paws wield its gleaming blade
In the ink-black dark, mysteries unravel
Fearless and bold, yet evading the light
Ever daring, venturing into the night

one moment

April 14, 2024 /

∴ 
in one instance of cosmic serendipity
two souls collide from across the silvered divide | 
kismet’s magical hand guiding
worlds merging
minds in syncopation
wildfire of passion aflame
journeys interwinding
spirits now bound by an ethereal ahimsa silken thread | 
woven in a celestial blink
as lives reshaped
ever-changed, separate, and as one

muster

April 12, 2024 /

∴ composing melodies in my mind
while meandering in the massifs
for the merriment of many a marmot, meadowlark,
and moose mustering for music
marveling at nature’s magnificence,
moonlight melts away
i strum my mountain dulcimer
and begin my little tune ∴

paper remnants
fragments held by unseen glue
memory’s tableau
