Silmukka / The Loop

The Red Moon

Meanings

  
the kimono of flame


the thought burns its butterflies

as a shooting star in the space of memory

the kimono of flame glows momentarily

then fades into the tongue of darkness between worlds

like a fly drowning in the evening -

and the water bowl of the mind is empty


empty and clean




+




somewhere the always reborn John Carter

wakes up to his first day to unknown flora and fauna of an unknown planet




+




I’m dying instead


slowly

for sure

and always again
