No. 29 - So many things I should have done

imagine that words 

both progress and progress both

words that imagine

A Formulated Phrase

Synaptic thoughts fire.

It is a regular day - 

The tides still drift on.

Mit farmakhte oygen...

The colour I see

May be very different - 

But we'll never know.

Ontology

When all the noise stills

We check our reality.

Oh - Parmenides!

But earlier

Though I live online

I have a real life as well - 

Which is which I ask?

In the short-term

Danger is hidden.
Crowds parade through other streets
And thoughts are elsewhere.

בענקשאַפֿט -Yearning

The vacuum inside

Is freed by the memory 

Of a falling leaf.

The story of light
Travels faster than rumour
And even saves time.

A Vision of the Street

Gentility fades

As the harsh life of comfort

Overtakes the day

Captured

In the reflection

Are both object and image.

But how are they linked?

Memory enhanced

With a littoral photo -

Of boats and houses...

(Siz maynhaiku - 3)

Think of the future

But do not try and be there -

Today must be lived.

(Siz maynhaiku - 2)

Summer creeps nearer

And so much is still frozen -

But we are waiting...

(Siz maynhaiku - 1)

Leave now. Quickly. Do not look back, or you will be pulled back into the same, senseless movements. Writhing tentacles of hollow emotion still slither close. Closer than is safe.  Leave now quickly. But the inner tension remains. Leaving now would create an unbreachable chasm. I am breathless, and can only shut my eyes.
