ooh that’s lovely, layered dark memories crack and decay

the fragments oh you, oh you the being
the quivering for the gift
the crude jokes to draw, to draw out the other side
the dust elevated into the erotic
the ashes amid the truant vine
the bones in search of a ruin of stones
the piper in accordance with the darkness underfoot
an irreversible innocence greeted by a wine-dark universe
these words in search of your absence
my masked heart snatched away by the fantastic distance

a death love poem….casual wind, Basho…. a poem written near the time of your own love death…. you, drowsy witness…
take care, my friend, the poem should be graceful, natural, and about neutral emotions adhering to the old teachings of Purple Mist …mind, it is rude to mention lovedeath explicitly: use metaphoric references… the gentle breast, bedlinens or the deadly warmth ….truant vines or………anyway, suggest the transience of lovelife, dear Basho…
you know, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event… and as the time passes, changes might take place in a person’s life and the poem could often be rewritten….
good, you’ve re-written all the sentences……good….do it again and again…
see ?? all your words became reversible and receptive, my son….. reversible and receptive…

when the words are dynamic
the gaze penetrates and stills them

it seems true in this case
babel said said to trust the random,
but it’s not easy for old school poets
the melding seems to work here
thanks to babel’s lovely clean script
