i wish you... happy by Natalia Molebatsi
i wish you whole as words water a flower beneath the yellow rays of yearnings beyond the reach of growling pains i wish you inviolable dreams flourishing under the silent and attentive gaze of the moon i wish you a sky, open enough and ready for thoughts of light simple earthly delights pouring in and out of this moment i wish you alive playing a game of cards in the blossoming pathway of unfolded wings here, a wish for you, of brave dreamlings touching your eyes at dawn picking shells along the beach with your brother on the roof of your home, feeding doves fitting your wedding gown marvelling at the beat of your sister’s heart laughing at your father’s funny stories happy... harvesting olives and memories

Today - October 8th - is world #octopus day!
So I want #poetry, #prose, and #artwork themed around those glorious #molluscs please!
(I might repost my Bob the octopus piece from a few months ago...)

The cuckoo sneaks in
her eggs
in the crow’s nest
while he is off
cracking
a bulbul’s eggshell
I, in my mind, stir
a to-do inventory
of salt-and-peppered
permitted #sins,
over some cheesy
greasy omelette

Yeah, I wrote the pie poem. To be fair, Eric did say my last poem was unhinged and such compliments will only encourage this sort of thing.

Never Underestimate a Good Pie He kept pies in his pockets thinking it would do do harm, to have something to present to a lady he may wish to charm, and so it proved, his fluffy pastry repaid that trust, and he met a lovely woman who bit into his crust, after some time together he looked at her and thought maybe, he would need a new tart recipe, for what seemed like a baby, but she just laughed and said "No child is in my belly, it's where I sometimes store my old full colour telly."

I had to sleep on this. You almost had a poem about pies being put to odd uses.

On the Wall In Roman times they were used to apportion size, and thus self regarded self in fragile confidence. There were those who always enjoyed a good mirror, the ability to gaze upon oneself a lubricant, but not social, until now, when a device invented to allow us to converse, instantly lets us share fantastic, fanatical visions, not just of our constructed faces, filtered and toxed but our fabricated lives, gaudily wrapped with tags attached. Then mirror, then, may be thought to have been consigned to the lonely solipsistic ponderings of introspective inspection, but smile, we can now beam light off them to differently illuminate, finding reflected percussive clashes between objects so massive, they consume even our own egocentric orbits, and in spite of the gravity of the subject, I cannot help but make a joke, we have found the universe waves. *Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime created by events like the merging of 2 black holes or predicted by Einstein (and others before him) that we first observed in 2015 using lasers and mirrors spaced 4 kilometres apart.

Rain followed yesterday
into the quiet kitchen,
leaving gray fingerprints
across the morning.
Sunlight entered
without ceremony,
found the waiting coffee,
and somehow made
Tuesday vanquish
the gloom
before it could settle.

“A wind has blown the rain away
and blown the sky away and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.
I think, I too, have known
Autumn too long”

Oct 8 - "After the Chestnuts Fall"

Brown shells scatter beneath the tree,
their sharp husks split along the path,
while the empty branches hold
the weight they carried down.

A single leaf fell
from the branch,
carrying summer’s
last green into
the waiting earth.

i am a pack rat,
stuffing down memory

& emotion, wrapping it
in brown paper

before closing the lid
& sealing with tape -

only to see the light again
in mid-explosion.

There is always a 'before'. Just a little verse pondering upon some 'befores'.

A poem I actually made for myself (which was a first), for when I’ll be monitored in the hospital after my transplant.

The say I have to stay for a month 🫪

My poem titled Flutter. … A butterfly passed me by, slowly, as if scanning who I was, and flew away like it knew— when even I don’t know who I am. In this hospital bed, who can I be? I only know what I wish to feel. I wish to feel the world’s heartbeat, from my head in the clouds, to my feet tickled by grass. A landscape painted in my pupils, carved into my long term memory. I want to feel the flutter of everything… to know the world is alive with me.

But I am indeed an island— densely populated, ecologically protected, perhaps the nicest place you’ll have ever been. Gather here, my people will tell you about the old wars and the gods— about our dead, and how they are honored. They can guide you through our shadowlands, toward the art and culture that took root here— Something deep and unknown still shifting beneath us.
