Kya sametega hum mein yeh waqt ka gehra dariya, hum kinaro se ubharne ka hunar jaante hai ... seedhe haatho ne joh kheenchi hai lakeerein tedhi, un lakeeron par chalne ka hunar jaante hai
Flying blind
as I am prone to do
when I get too cocky
about my invulnerability
Post crash
I curse the gods of Inevitability
for not properly warning me
that extreme arrogance
begets negative consequence
A poem celebrating the natural world — in music.
"New feet within my garden go" — Emily Dickinson
kind colours
of autumn's glow
hues of warmth
and trust
and letting go

GRACE RACE II
by Bill Kochman
10-21-2017
I once knew a man who ran the race,
But he fell flat right on his face.
In the flesh he had tried so hard,
But he couldn't make the final yard.
Lorrayne
before you hit me with that object
shaped like a toblerone
let me explain…

Trivium
Trivia, goddess of magic ways,
Greek Hecate, tripad goddess,
of T- and Y-junctions:
not X, nor +, four path cross-roads,
nor ж, three roads, six-path meeting,
where gossips gather
trivia begins.
