the sun shaded
by clouds
the air cool
on skin
the cat curious
of the crow
who hops
on the railing
to say good morning
as we sit
on the balcony
this day
Month: December 2017
into your heart
whisper
my name
in
dark rooms
let
me sink
into
your heart

your smile
you smile
like a child
a summer morning
no school
all day play
ice cream
and chocolate bars
life waiting
your smile
like gulls
like gulls
crying out
gliding soaring
around the buildings
always returning
to rest
by the sea
like my thoughts
seeking attention
circling spinning
inside my head
always settling
to linger
on you
Hand that I love by Choi Seung-ja
Korean poem in translation by Geul on the blog Cardiac Slaves of the Stars
(translated from the Korean by geul)
There, an unknowable rain is coming down
pitiable repose coming down to moisten
when I hold your hand professing love
the melancholy of existence catching in the ten fingers
there, an unknowable rain is coming down
pitiable peace coming down to moisten
on baseball
and still
the wonder
the hope
each time
up at bat
Leonard Durso
