Untitled XXII
Hot concrete burns my soul.
Nothing but weeds grow in
half-inch crevices, reaching
out for sun and wind.
A nuisance vein of green,
spreading along tiny stones
resistant to insects
seeking nourishment.
Roots anchor deep into
underworlds unseen
by naked eyes.
Swift currents bury seeds,
cultivating useless,
lifelong parody.

The author encourages honest critique.
I love the focus on detail, creating a singular image that is imbued with presence, and meaning beneath the surface, much like haiku

Thank you, Daniel, for always leaving such kind and thoughtful comments. I think this is one that I might expand on once this month is finished.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm sitting on some writing until NaPo is done and things slow down, started as a stanza a day written for moral support for friends doing NaPo, but by day 15 the gathered work was voluminous, so I left it there.

Awesome. Precision. Contemplative.
It's the little things, that support the overhead .

I like the nihilistic undertones
which I perceived...
I have been thinking a lot of the concept of: Simulacrum.
This sort of...
Resonates with the frequencies of my contemplations...
Real cool...

Love: useless lifelong parody. Totally descriptive of our existence at times.
Excellent.

That opening stanza captivates the natural struggle for life in what others may just see and not really think about.
Strong compelling spill.
