Writing words
on fiber as thin
as gossamer lace,
you will need
imagination as much
as ink as much
as air as much as
grace, for here,
poems sink into folds
of translucent tengujo
only to appear again
in shadowed light
#smallpoems
After reading fascinating piece about the world’s thinnest paper: tengujo
I'm looking
as she's reaching,
fingertips for the solitary
snowflake,
a floating apparition
in the early
Springtime sun,
but then it's gone
before we even notice
what it is
we were watching
when we were watching
this
a trace of hope;
a lover's kiss
— a #smallpoems for Slice of Life (a March blogging challenge to focus on small moments)
the soldier
huddles, inside
a blanket -
the mother
shuttles, kids
inside a car -
the store-keep
shuffles, cards
like cash -
the preacher
stumbles, talks
of a crash -
the teacher
rumbles, writes,
forever fast
this place,
bound up in
colliding
stories
all of us;
not alone,
not alone,
but home
#smallpoems
— for CLMOOC (theme: Home)
In this space
of two, of me
and you, and
every lamb
and ewe, we
find our way
forward into
the day, nary
a network in
sight, for night
covers these
strange connections
that hold us
together
