A horror movie scene as the heroine escapes. Everything is still besides her convalescing breath and the distant, chasing wind. Not a noise is heard except the fall leave's rattle and the birch wood's moaning bark in the moonlight. Her body slouches into the protection of a lone shed, and shrouds itself in the aroma of cut grass. A tense brow relieves and tired eyes close, thankful to receive the momentary peace. A possible misstep turns the wary peace on end with the jagged cut of broken leaves. The once relieved brow now concedes surprise as wild eyes are cast towards an opaque barricade. Sly pieces of garden equipment leash a weathered jacket in place as she attempts to stand. A cackle is heard, a shriek undone. To spite the brittle wood, the formulaic jump-scare-skeleton-hand bursts through the shed's solicitous walls, set to declare the last of a weary soul as his own. The wind catches up and spearheads any hole it can find. It begins whistling around the dim room like a tornado elated to havoc behind a castle's walls. The tree bark howls, the leaves, now delight. We learn there is no reprieve for a begging champion. The camera backs out of the splintered hole, and pans over a silhouetted forest to face the waning moon. The hero succumbs with muted screams to a gore far below and out of frame. Our only closure, a black screen, with bright white letters, slowly scrolling up. The end.

these pigs have no neurosis
when she was eight years old she asked her mother have you seen the girl with lashes like butterflies against sharp cheekbone branches? a dandelion sprouting from sludge covered gutters and streets streets, where you feel that bitter bland nothingness in your stomach it feels buttery to stare at her: see how snow outstretches arms and twirls tippy toes, envies her grace see how balloon sized raindrops pop, target the freckles on her arm see how her forehead crinkles when she concentrates, nothing more than a beacon proclaiming she trickles with stars when she was eight years old her parent's violent protests slipped bruises under her skin like pennies in a coin slot but they could not contain the celestial girl tucked under her ribcage. she would still look at her like she was the breakfast sun on a saturday whistling by the creak, catching glimpses of dresses from behind the legs of trees. see how this is special love, sweet as strawberry fields under soft sun they would never feel on their forked, sour tongues

A dazzling sough, The wind blows through, across the stunning white clouds, to Earth, A dearness of the whistling, carrying a, warm breeze makes it worth Worth but to say nothing less than; praise the new coming day! Rustling the leafs, shaking them, letting them dance, then sway, The wind is a transient traveler, rushing through this worldly life, Gathering clouds together, a delicate drizzle is what they strive for, Distorting, carrying, leading them towards the ground, wettening them in a scenery of a wonderous sight, fertilising the soil more, Howling in a showering yet intimitating sense of the changing scene, Blowing over each drop of pure water on the green coloured grass, Spring is truly a season where dreams can sore, It gives us the idea of something greater, something more, Coming with ups, then downs, it gets carried away by the wind, Until finally, the sunny days of summer are to come, Sit down with me, listen to the sighing of the wind, don't be lonesome By the sound it makes, the gentle song which blows through our ears Can you hear it whispering ? ~ Umi

Song of the Wind
To my Daddy on Father's Day When I was young and small, I was your little girl. As I grew and grew, I stayed your little girl. Now, 18 years later, I'm still your little girl. When I am twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty, I will still be your little girl. No matter where I go, Or how old I grow, I will still be, Forever and always Your little girl. You were my cheerlearder, Calling and whistling from the stands, Since I was smaller and tinier Than all those who played. You were my coach, Helping me and teaching me Giving me confidence Showing me what it meant to be an athlete. I took what you taught me And applied it to my life Making me, Forever and always Your little girl. You were my personal chef, Teaching me to love the finer foods And that cooking is an art. Healthy and not Food was to be treated specially Cooked and baked just right. Nothing has ever compared to what you have made. Spoiled and exposed to the best Making me, Forever and always Your little girl You were my supporter, When I was upset and had nowhere to turn. You taught me to be tough And to be strong. You said I could do anything, Be anything I wanted, That being a girl made no difference. You taught me to love myself, To take care of myself To defend and stand up for myself, Making me, Forever and always Your little girl. When I was small and tiny, I was your little girl. As I grew, I remained you little girl. Today I am you little girl. Tomorrow and the day after I will be your little girl. No matter where I go, No matter how old I grow, No matter where you are, No matter how old you are, I will Forever and always Be your little girl. Happy Daddy's Day I love you <3

It was my thirtieth year to heaven Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood And the mussel pooled and the heron Priested shore The morning beckon With water praying and call of seagull and rook And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wall Myself to set foot That second In the still sleeping town and set forth. My birthday began with the water- Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name Above the farms and the white horses And I rose In rainy autumn And walked abroad in a shower of all my days. High tide and the heron dived when I took the road Over the border And the gates Of the town closed as the town awoke. A springful of larks in a rolling Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling Blackbirds and the sun of October Summery On the hill's shoulder, Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly Come in the morning where I wandered and listened To the rain wringing Wind blow cold In the wood faraway under me. Pale rain over the dwindling harbour And over the sea wet church the size of a snail With its horns through mist and the castle Brown as owls But all the gardens Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud. There could I marvel My birthday Away but the weather turned around. It turned away from the blithe country And down the other air and the blue altered sky Streamed again a wonder of summer With apples Pears and red currants And I saw in the turning so clearly a child's Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother Through the parables Of sun light And the legends of the green chapels And the twice told fields of infancy That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine. These were the woods the river and sea Where a boy In the listening Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joy To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tide. And the mystery Sang alive Still in the water and singingbirds. And there could I marvel my birthday Away but the weather turned around. And the true Joy of the long dead child sang burning In the sun. It was my thirtieth Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noon Though the town below lay leaved with October blood. O may my heart's truth Still be sung On this high hill in a year's turning.

I stand here; outside my balcony amidst darkness in the company of loneliness My soul impertaburbly trapped between forlornness and peacefulness Yin and Yang perhaps, Forlorn because the soul, wounded and damaged perniciously by loneliness.. And peace; because the herb... well the herb heals to some extent My vessel the arena On a forbidden course Yang battles Yin the odds are in his favor THC to Yin is like aconite to wolves; And so he weakens with every hit The melee ends like it was destined to tranquil and pure bliss prevail At that moment; the wind starts to sing her song Calling, whistling to his lover the king of the night she whistles a beautiful song that sounds of a gentle breeze zephyr like pushing aside clouds that guard his majesty; grandiosely his image is revealed in the nightlife Observe they all gather under the nightsky; selenophiles far away from each other all in different worlds but it's this energy that coheres them here together The wind starts to sing the song of halcyon, ogling at the moon in veneration and exhilaration selenophiles danced away into the night.

green railroad dreams
LONG ago I learned how to sleep, In an old apple orchard where the wind swept by counting its money and throwing it away, In a wind-gaunt orchard where the limbs forked out and listened or never listened at all, In a passel of trees where the branches trapped the wind into whistling, "Who, who are you?" I slept with my head in an elbow on a summer afternoon and there I took a sleep lesson. There I went away saying: I know why they sleep, I know how they trap the tricky winds. Long ago I learned how to listen to the singing wind and how to forget and how to hear the deep whine, Slapping and lapsing under the day blue and the night stars: Who, who are you? Who can ever forget listening to the wind go by counting its money and throwing it away?

Evening
Come on my Love! Let us move to the East Where the sun resurrects after his interim death Where darkness first gives way to light And life renews itself every morn Look to the East beyond those crooked hills Where poplars grow tall in line And wild weeds hem the edges of pathways Where bunnies and squirrels hop and jump And merrily run round the trees Where the wind moves whistling through bamboo reeds Where the laughing cataract leaps down from the rocks And flow along in silvery rills Where the languorous breeze plays upon the leaves Away from the tumult, far from the crazy crowd With the pandemonium of the world Hushed to serene silence Let us move to that sequestered glade Of perennial greenery, through the sunlit grove Where we shall walk hands locked Till the bright day gives way to dusky night Inhaling night air in scented perfume Under the stillness of a star lit sky Through moon blanched woods, mysterious Listening to the sweet whispering of our soul And ‘drinking life to the lees’ from the chalice of love Oh! Come on, Let us not tarry…. Let’s go!

An Invitation
If I were ever to chance upon, a real life Genie and being ever so kind, he granted me wishes freely I wouldn't waste any time, and ask him quite loudly 'Give me a Flying Carpet, and make the sky cloudy!' Astride my bed with wings, I would swiftly reach the sky and dive through the clouds like through butter a hot knife feeling the wind in my hair, laughing with unbridled glee as a soaring eagle feels in the air, light, and free Next I'd become a Lion, to roar and roam the jungles deep Growling and tearing into poachers, and savoring the meat I would rule all the mighty creatures, as their rightful king and all the forest's denizens would my praises sing Soon after I would ask for a ship, and a crew of souls brave I would visit all lands afar, upon my Master of waves without a single glance behind and not a spot of bother I would see and feel and taste all the world has to offer From above I'd go beneath, diving as a blue whale The murky depths of the oceans whistling past my tail All the wondrous sea dwellers, and all the buried wonders would become a part of my enchanting under sea tale Last of all I'd ask the genie, to build with his hand a nation built for all the poor orphans of every land where they eat and drink and make much merriment and also study, play, and sleep with gladness in them

If I met a Genie
The bedroom walls don the shadows of the falling snowflakes Through the window boughs swing heavy with crystals Shimmering in the muted light of the crescented moon Tracks of invisible animals impressed into that white A wind whistling through empty corridors of an abandoned house With a chandelier twisting in the ecstatic breeze Flurries whipping frantically through that chilled air Winter

Describing the Cold
The shells are singing holy songs now—oceans whistle through their concert holes. ‘Holes drilled by predators,’ the seashore sings to me. And I’m reminded there’s so much more ancient than man. So much that can never be written down, for words are the limitations of our knowledge —not its end. And there should be something more but really, how does one write what happened with the seashells whistling by the seashore?

GOD GOES FOR A WALK God goes for a walk. it is the depths of Winter but, at a whim he makes it ...Spring. Because. He can. I also, as it happens have gone for a walk & am surprised by the sudden change of the weather. . ? ...whatever! He is wearing a yellow gangster style fedora. He looks like Marlon Brando being The Godfather. He sports the brightest of yellow waistcoats which compliments the purple shirt...purple trousers. He strides along with His Paisley patterned  Parisian walking stick whistling the music of The Spheres. The World bows before him. He is well pleased with Himself, un- -til: He encounters me coming towards him dressed in a gangster style yellow fedora the brightest of yellow waistcoats not to mention the purple shirt...purple trousers. I, also, possess a Paisley patterned  Parisian walking stick. We nod politely saying nothing but... He is miffed at me wearing His outfit and I also miffed at Him wearing mine! We pass each other God & creature. And ******* if He doesn't make it Winter on the very next step. He was always a Jealous God.

GOD GOES FOR A WALK
I look up from my book to find beams of warm sunlight touching my face, the chugging of the train accompanied by its whistling, become my aural companions for the journey, as I look at scenes that unfold before my eyes : I pass by hawkers trying to sell their wares, their calls mingled with joyous voices, of children excited about their first train journey, of families on their way, perhaps, to attend a wedding, or to celebrate the birth of a much awaited child. I see : village belles toiling away on fields; shabby looking buildings speaking of years of neglect; temples ringing with the sounds of bhajans being sung with religious fervour, bells being tolled, pleading the gods to look down from their divine abodes; roadside stalls filling the air with aromas of food, promising hearty meals. They are all ephemeral sights, and yet, they have become a part of me - the smells, the sights - they shall bring back memories that will become my companions in solitude.

A train journey
Deep brown color, messy as it’s eaten. Like something that failed to crunch. Brittle yet soft, rough and delicate. It can be fudgy, chewy or cake-like, topped with walnuts or apricot glaze. A heavy horse failing to hike the high mountain of crisp. Hard on the outside, but not as taut as chocolate-chip cookies, or M&M;’s, A fragile strength that breaks with subtle touch. Smooth and moist inside, melted chocolate held together. Created solely for a royal’s mouth to taste, Slowly dissolving, sea foam ****** by the damp sand, A guilty pleasure I cannot live without. The brownie becoming a beautiful bouquet blossoming In my chocolate tinted mouth. It cures whatever ails you, The flavor empowering any mist of dullness or bitterness. Forgetting about everything, as he mixed the batter Creating the perfect combination of smoothness, sweetness, And the creamy after-taste. Our favorite thing to bake together. Friday evening we scurried to the kitchen, creating our own baking contest. His hazel eyes, swirling with the batter poured in circles, His lips, whistling to the beautiful sight of brownies, plumping as they bake. Days later, we would come back to that kitchen, With the scent of freshly baked brownies still lingering in the air. We would look at each other’s deep brown eyes Like the brownies we baked and enjoyed together. His lips, a wallop of sweetness.

Brownies
I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the black bird. II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three blackbirds. III The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. IV A man and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a blackbird Are one. V I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling Or just after. VI Icicles filled the long window With barbaric glass. The shadow of the blackbird Crossed it, to and fro. The mood Traced in the shadow An indecipherable cause. VII O thin men of Haddam, Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird Walks around the feet Of the women about you? VIII I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know. IX When the blackbird flew out of sight, It marked the edge Of one of many circles. X At the sight of blackbirds Flying in a green light, Even the bawds of euphony Would cry out sharply. XI He rode over Connecticut In a glass coach. Once, a fear pierced him, In that he mistook The shadow of his equipage For blackbirds. XII The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying. XIII It was evening all afternoon. It was snowing And it was going to snow. The blackbird sat In the cedar-limbs.

Thirteen Ways Of Looking At A Blackbird
I panicked. My brain attacked today. It attacked my lungs, Stupid sharp whistling sounds. I looked out of control. But I felt aware, that I wasn’t breathing, that I was attacking myself again. It attacked my heart, terrifying skipping stones in my chest. Whipped one by one, Muffled blows in my breast. I panicked. I looked out of control but I was aware, of the guilt, of what will drag along with me. I can’t be freed from fault, It’s not the way. Because I panic; is why I don’t relate, is how I cleanse. Fright being necessary, like a dream where you muscle tone fails you, I was paralyzed. My knuckles hit the laminate – again, again, again. But I don’t move. Feeling my bicep twitch, Feeling my throat raw, My mouth wide open, But I don’t make a sound. Because I panic. The power inside, will never translate, to the outside. People may see flickers, of insanity in my eyes. They may see me tighten up. They may seem me strain and ease. But I will never translate. Until it snaps, Until I no longer attack myself. Until I no longer panic. Until I bellow, Until I howl, Until I wail, Until I swing and connect. Until it attacks outwardly, Instead of inwardly.

Panic
I sit along in the dark bamboo grove, Playing the zither and whistling long. In this deep wood no one would know - Only the bright moon comes to shine.
