verse / 20240326
spring winds sing cold / branches yet to bud sway, hum / winter’s last refrain
surmising with aplomb and nary remorse
spring winds sing cold / branches yet to bud sway, hum / winter’s last refrain
life isn’t all pain / sometimes there are calls to smile / winter’s end is one
the last slice of bread / alone in the flaccid bag / unfit for the host #川柳
nothing I can do / could ever matter as much / as a stream’s passing #川柳
the morphine drips drops / drips drops so buena buena / so fucking buena
eyes down, collar up / shearing headwinds cut the pace / woe, I can’t turn back #川柳
the journey is long / peril awaits every turn / alas, ‘tis the end #川柳
dawn succeeds the night / and birds sing for its glory / but for falling bombs #川柳
we can soar the heights / we can reach beyond the reach / still, we have to breathe #川柳
away with the wind / like leaves dead, like ashes, dust / let mine self scatter
