watercolouring

May 24th, 2007

the dispersing water and pigment
(like careful invisible flames
  singeing the surface)
is blitheness
besieged with uncertainties

the daunting hourglass
the spontaneity
the sodden paper
(like ground
  glossed by summer rain)

yet utter joy
one million and thirty-seven hundred raindrops
no, i did not count
it is just me
and my desire
to capture them many
  and let them finish what i have started

so,
be here
witness it
be here
such a shame to miss it

music to our ears

May 20th, 2007

opening

the eerie
piercing sounds
the rusted hinges make
it’s music to our ears
it’s music
it’s music
finally

sharp points of light
soften
sparkles
shedding skin
shedding
shedding
finally

bittersweet brims
bittersweet brims
gushing
gushing
sliding bittersweet brims

not the cheap liquor
not the gliding threads of smoke
not the dregs at the bottom
not the tainted portions
not the perfect glissando
not the daily dramas
not the sore-self
nor the swollen heart

just the eerie
piercing sounds
the rusted hinges make
it’s music to our ears
it’s music
it’s music

perpetual music

scarredheart is back. i suppose.

"who are you
scarredheart?

your words

hibernate
   underneath
       my skin…"
