Kintsugi

I promise you,
you are not alone
in your feelings—

the hollow ache
where they should be,
I feel it too—severed—
sundered from the mold, 
a lotus flower wilting 
in the dark. 

Let grace root itself
in the negligible cracks—
let your light spill into the 
fractures—

creating something 
new and worthy.

Star Light

Under twilight, autumn sky,
Enigma entwined in grace I see.
I sit in awe, unmoved, untethered,
Witness to its majesty.

Black canvass beautifully submerged in hue,
Intricate star line throughout,
Glittering constellations,
From the plough to Orion’s belt.

Vast starlight nebula in bloom,
Gaia’s creed beneath in pass,
In comparison, simplicity,
Negligible to its mass.
Form: Ballad

Old man - at bus stop - in the rain

Yes I have balanced upon this rock
for 75, 85 years causing
negligible quantities
of soil to shift

Daily I wait patiently
on said surface at these familiar
co-ordinates, yet in my time
I visited 75, 85 territories of
the artificially boundaried surfaces

There was some growing, some striving
scant praying, scarce slaying
and my best claim my final
claim is to have left
no trace #pfft#

(a dating tale - told in Senryus)

She stayed the night, but
left before having coffee 
- that was a bad sign.

He was charming but
negligible - an easy 
habit to give up.

He watched her typing
bubble appear and vanish
there was his answer

His date-dar was bad,
she’d left-swiped him in real life,
ghosted like Banquo

A song for this:
Waiting for Kenny by a Sécurité

Banquo = One of Shakespeare's many ghosts.
