samsara by ~zphoenixdownz s all about the comparison, and what can be drawn from a moth, a falling seed, and a similarity of words. Nature poetry at its finest.
Literature Text
sam(s)ara
a spotted moth
flutters
around in circles
the porch light
filaments
become flames
clouded by glass
civilization ripens
the moth
a winged seed
falls
spiralling
blood red maples
spring from the crash site
of a downed helicopter
a spotted moth
flutters
around in circles
the porch light
filaments
become flames
clouded by glass
civilization ripens
the moth
a winged seed
falls
spiralling
blood red maples
spring from the crash site
of a downed helicopter

31
gnarled tree roots
stretch down into the pond
resting for a spell
30
a thousand flags
whip in the wind
praying for profits
29
lingering
in the cool building shadow
lilac perfume
28
in the distance
beyond the looming storm —
hint of orange dusk
27
a golden half-moon
hangs near distant streetlights
rear-view mirror

You Underneath
You
underneath,
brushing the willow,
swallow many branches, while
brushing the willow
underneath
you.
Silence,
they hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat.
Scratch the bark,
they hear the
silence.
You
underneath
brushing the willow,
silence!
They hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat;
scratch the bark
they hear the
silence,
brushing the willow
underneath
you.
