chimaera Dec 2015
northern lights, purple
pulse of sidereal fairy
- dazed heart, clinging.
Haiku.
*Inspired by Duke Ellington's theme, with that same title. m.youtube.com/watch?v=P3thESerMbo

chimaera Dec 2015
from the mud
a bluesy mood
bruisings coloured
in butterflies
fire flight
all but smoke
this choke
short circuited
words from
a hat
withdraw
the shorter straw
her fate
the cave
no translation
available
for the opacity
of that night

Just drifting...
chimaera Dec 2015
a witting clap
echoes

flocks of letters
take flight

words'
remainders
to gather

to lit a fire
within the night

smoke
above the canopies

words words words.

in what language
could we ever say
all that we mean,
ever be seen?

silence thus glides.

a shore for stranding.

Friday night
And I am at Hello Poetry.

What else?
Sorry for the implicit advertising of the coffee brand; this just popped out, for the fun of it.

wind and fear,
wind and fear!

la sècheresse.
comme au désert.

thirsty.
thirsty!

drawn in distance,
a blurred spot.

yet i am
the wilderness itself,

a rush of light
across the dunes,

a whirl of singing sand.
and you know nothing.

Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. (in wikipedia)
The singing sand is a phenomen that occurs in about 35 deserts around the world; it gets to 105 decibels. (in wikipedia)

time walks.
giant steps
carving
an absence,
a heart shaped
niche.

time walks.
rosary stones
ground
into nothing.
not an echo
nor a breeze.
