Buon lunedì, prodi seguaci!🥝

Spero che abbiate passato una buona giornata per l’Eid-ul-fitr se la festeggiate. Il mio fine settimana è stato molto piacevole, tra buone letture, InuYasha e una timida capatina fuori casa: oggi vi lascio una poesia tratta da In the Dark, Soft Earth di Frank Watson, che mi ha gentilmente fatto avere la CE.

time

shifting through the ages
to the sound of her breath

a thousand diamonds
in every movement
of her breathing heart

in time’s abyss
when all the burning flames
have been quenched
and no one thirsts for more

these are the tombs
of a thousand years
grown green with the moss
of life’s decay

Vignette verses explore the workings of love, nature, spirituality, and dreams with sprinklings of tarot symbolism and jazzy blues. Together these verses contemplate the subtle underpinnings of a soft earth.
