passion eclipsed by strong sun, weak moon. she wandered in dark iridescence. roots pervading the dirt. blackbirds threatened to strangle her voice. she uprooted & fled. perched in a pine her song climbs the night once again.

I savor small things
sips of tea in thin china cups
a melting chocolate drop
snow through gauze curtains
your footsteps on the stairs.

I’m currently reading The Ink Dark Moon, a lovely collection of love poems from the ancient court of Japan. Here are a few about autumn:

unafraid to be herself countess olenska lived among the artists and writers. in her unorthodox way she tied ribbons ‘round the heart of newland archer. he saw in her what he desired for himself—freedom from society’s strictures. The Age of Innocence—literature of longing.

she dips the palette knife into the blue, drags it across the corrugated board. plays with paint like a child. intuitive. untrained. thinning out white she drip drip drips across the top. picks up a stick & swirls yellow-orange. a drizzle of sun. color speaks a language all its own.

If you are able, please donate to your local food bank. Years ago, I volunteered at a few fundraisers for the LA Regional Food Bank when my sister did their PR. Honestly, their employees were some of the best people I’ve ever met, and they help so many in need.

the deli clerk & I joked around as usual as he fixed my order. in walks a famous actress. we carried on, giving her space in the tiny shop. out of the corner of my eye I saw she was incredulous as being ignored. I paid for my order, thanked the clerk, & sashayed right past.

it’s november, so I’ve pulled out my novel, dusted the cobwebs & am refreshing my memory of its story. I wrote ~15k words a few nanowrimos ago. not sure with the demise of nano if I’ll join any writing challenges, but I’d like to know what happens next in the story.

she throws words against the wall. some fall, some stick. it’s all a grand experiment. she makes and breaks the rules on a whim. it’s poetry, after all.

he moved closer & further away simultaneously. a bilocation. silence was his means of confusion. creeping was his expertise. she changed her name. deleted her account. over & over again. he always tracked her down. she stopped writing about him. sometimes she forgets.
