time beyond the realm / of time, of the illusion, / exists, as is now

poetry
verse / 20231019
My heart breaks asunder / Anew / For the Season's first leaf to fall / For the Season's last cricket to sing
#mementomori
verse / 20231018
midnight clouds, blue, black / consume fast the Hunter's Moon / the howls grow frenzied
#俳句
verse / 20231017
it needs not the dark / or the lure of the moon full / or the eve hallowed / to give rise to the lost souls / to have wraiths thrill the night
#短歌
verse / 20231015
leaves fall with the breeze / a breeze that waters the eyes / truly, 'tis the breeze
#俳句
verse / 20231014
if you just listen / if you just pause for the quiet / if you just, just...wait
#川柳
verse / 20231013
my fraught mind races / the clock ticks and ticks and ticks / somewhere someone smiles

No matter how bad it gets…
And it has gotten extremely bad lately…
I guess there is some comfort to be found in knowing…
That it could always get worse.
Yeah…
Not sure if I have the imaginative capacity, or fortitude, to imagine how.
Hope I don’t.
But, still, here we are, despite it all, moving forward…
Even if it’s just at the most timid and extremely infinitesimal pace.
Because we must.
And we shall.
So yeah, in the midst of all this, all this being our latest global nightmare of ___________ [fill in the blank]*, I finally managed to do something I have been wanting to do pretty much since the onset of the past global nightmare of ___________ [fill in the blank].
