Smog sirens and city streets
Malicious bickering sounds
Blue glass sky above
Bright blinking neon
screaming green and pink and blue
while grass grows unseen
Unattended weeds
attempt conformity but
fail miserably
Inhale and exhale
Inhale and exhale and in
hale and exhale and
Cat’s eyes half open meet
mine from atop the bookshelf
and carefully close
Frozen air bites deep
Heat beneath the blankets
I burrow deeper
mosquitoes buzz close
breathing the fragrant air of
whispering cedars

I love these. Reminds me of... what? Murakami. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI love Murakami, and I take that as a high compliment.
