It has been some time since I posted a haiku, let alone posted, so I think I shall post a few of my favorites from Matsuo Bashō. Translated from the original language. Wake, butterfly-- it's late, we've miles to go together. Has it returned, the snow we viewed together? How I long to see among dawn flowers, the face of God. First winter rain-- I plod on, Traveller, my name. #haiku #poetryposting

Retake the falling snow: each drifting flake Shapeless and slow, unsteady and opaque, A dull dark white against the day's pale white And abstract larches in the neutral light. And then the gradual and dual blue As night unites the viewer and the view, And in the morning, diamonds of frost -Excerpt from Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov #poetryposting

We were so close to being free of this place. Shame.
walke gentlye in the lives of otheres; not alle woundes are visible.
She hears, upon that water without sound, A voice that cries, “The tomb in Palestine Is not the porch of spirits lingering. It is the grave of Jesus, where he lay.” We live in an old chaos of the sun, Or old dependency of day and night, Or island solitude, unsponsored, free, Of that wide water, inescapable. Deer walk upon our mountains, and the quail Whistle about us their spontaneous cries; Sweet berries ripen in the wilderness; And, in the isolation of the sky, At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make Ambiguous undulations as they sink, Downward to darkness, on extended wings. -an excerpt from Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens
He said, Look. Look. And they did. He said, Lift up your shirt. And I did. He slid his fork beneath my ribs — Yes, he sang. A Jesus side wound. It wouldn’t stop bleeding. He reached inside and turned on the lamp — I never knew I was also a lamp — until the light fell out of me, dripped down my thigh, flew up in me, caught in my throat like a canary.
