Hello, our final hurrah?

"to say Hello is to see the other person, to be aware of him as a phenomenon, to happen to him and to be ready for him to happen to you" Eric Berne

 

as I contemplate our poetic streaming

my back hurts a bit from too much reading

today's flow speaks of Courage, and what if

HP is our virtual House of Clay and Promise?

I read your words in black

on a non Oxford White foreground

a sort of a playground

for our cascade of words

unfinished emotions, illusions, strivings

for the gossip of the wind, for the dread and tenderness

of light in our poems

 

I dare not contemplate the end but

I can envision the theater of absence

there is this hope in the center of our loneliness

at least our dancing words may be seen and tasted

but most important, can touch another

your quirky pseudonyms are not enough to hide

your true colours

I read your poetry with curious eyes and open heart

I would like to forget the worst

is it the spirit, the soul of this pixelated world

is it your sorrow or your joy

your heartbreak or your love

that's gone put the risk into remission

I hope HP gathers enough capitalist auto-affection

for a missed encounter with its own death

we need the capital of language, dreams, fears and tears

to keep humane what it means to be alive
