Only Now Is: Senryu

ONLY NOW IS

Taking the next step …
Contraction? Or expansion?
… Imagination!

SPELLMEISTER II

Exhausted
Lets go words
Lets go all images

In vivid silence
String quartets
Sprout pirouettes

Free of intent
Dances and teases
Patterns born of chaos

The Real

THE REAL

Simply cloud castles
While who is out or in there
To decide The Real?

Microbes

MICROBES

The individual
The species
A microbe

The country
The planet
A microbe

The universe
The imagination
A microbe

Books (Of Spells)

BOOKS (OF SPELLS)

A special magic
The fortunate discover
While non-readers not

Spellmeister (21b)

SPELLMEISTER

Lets go words
Lets go images
String quartets
Pirouettes
Drops intent, spins and teases
Patterns from chaos

To change
That way
We view
Anything

Dreamt
Of that viewing
Or that dreaming it

What Whoever
Inserted that doubt
That gave rise to

All these apparencies

Overreaching Oneself

OVERREACHING ONESELF

“I” think “I” know, yet
It’s mostly conjecture and
Imagination
So I tried out “We” then “You”
But then “I” says much the same

Love Story

LOVE STORY

This weight on one’s chest?
This all too fallible heart?
Imagination!

Flirtation

FLIRTATION

A gentle tease. Oh where shall I wander?
Upstairs? Downstairs? In my lady’s chamber?
Pictures within my mind take form, a game.
Hoping that she might be doing the same.
