 Jan 2021 Hello Prolly

nettle once brittle
kneels on burning snow
dandelion grove
breathing ashes bitter

an elephant-like hole in the ground
don’t look in on the strangers
eyes wide from the danger
disappeared with all the sound

a doll holding a hand
hands sleeping in, tight
in their hold, no fight
just dance with the twirling sand

nettle once brittle
kneels on empty plane
once nest’s now a grave
full of ashes bitter
This poem got to be a song in the end. Describing a post-war ambience, it is influenced by Middle Ages, LOTR & similar movies, Fallout game series... not to forget this almost after-war-ish covid situation, deaths & lockdowns... Its feeling also corresponds to the moment, when Disney's Mulan enters a burned-out village.

every yesterday
was a tomorrow
once
and so we move
from any sorrow
bounce
and so we smile
give, and borrow
chance
every yesterday
was a tomorrow
once

you’re a star
a far-away star I see at night
I remember through my days
I needed a guiding light
still, even if I walk by myself
with or without pace
even if I found some help
you’re the star, my grace
watching over from that far
the far-away star I pray
will never fade away

Kelsey O’nara
a girl with eyes so green
you find yourself lost in that what could seem
like the green pastures of forever to hold

just say, say her name to call her again
say, say: O’nara, my dearest friend

Kelsey O’nara
a girl of thousand faces
you need to caress her to know how the changes
go through to get, get you through

just say, say her name to learn a few new ways
say, say: O’nara, I loved and I’ll love those days

Kelsey O’nara
a girl of the purest smiles
you’ll want to smile back for her to know that you tried
finding yourself grown over by a warm hug

just say, say her name to feel the calm, calm happy
say, say: O’nara, yourself I just might need

Kelsey O’nara
a girl of the last goodbyes
you don’t know how to say or how to make last
you try anyway since the future is to pass

so say, say her name with a one last bow
say, say: O’nara, take my hand, and let’s go

take my hand, and let’s go
Kelsey O'nara is about many things, but first and foremost about embracing death (death doesn't mean a bad thing to be scraed of, you know) - represented by the beautiful girl Kelsey. This song started out as a poem, and was "songified" later on:

Say: O'nara, sayōnara.

my
dearest son
did you know
I come undone
without
your small hand
closed in mine
forever and

and I’ll
always love you
and always pray
for your health
I’m sure
I’ll always love you
and forever stay
in your chest

my
daughter missed
did you know
I never did
forget your
sweet sweet smile
that never came
to be mine

and I’ll
always love you
and always pray
for your soul
I’m sure
I’ll always love you
and forever think
of something more

and I’ll
always love you
and part of me
‘ll be always with
I know
I’ll always love you
and sorry for my
missing it

all of mine
I’ll always love you
always love you
this poem made it to a tranquil song: https://sptfy.com/to-all-mine

my love, daily,
my daily bread,
falls on my
buttered-side
down daily

my love, daily
my daily dish,
pour over my
flimsy flats
for that I wish, daily

my love, daily,
my daily dial,
pick me mine
pricked up ears
the line is deaf, daily

a dandelion stands proud
in the sun, whilst at night not out

a dandelion gets dry and old
to make new, to be more

how to live a dandelion life?
how to be a dandelion wife?

virtually everything
grows
virtual spacing out
bright
rainbows
black light
rainbows in reality

hurting yourself hurting others
doing the opposite of what we know that bothers
the fathers
of our want
just don’t

virtually everyone
knows
literal meaning
of might
raindrops
black skies
rain drops off our pity

virtues making so much sense
vinted features made variously fenced
in a sense
of our need
we bleed

rainbow reality
a black cell
rainbows
rain blows virtuality

maybe this world is another planet’s hell
this started as a poem and ended up a haunting song: http://sptfy.com/virtuality

she was and she wasn’t
is she déjà vue?
the doll that wished to happen
so she wished
to do

she was doing, done
all that was long due
the doll that asked for owning
paid all that
she knew

she did all she longed for
empty, seeming full
the doll that lived, all smiling
to be missing
you

twinkling in the sunlight
a piece in pieces, paced
the cheapest doll there was
cups all over
too
