autumn songs
in undertones
learning the words
that heal
a dead man's child

inspired by Rumi's reflections on "A MAN AND A WOMAN ARGUING"
…
"You were a healthy vine.
Now you're a rotten fruit.
You ought to be growing sweeter and sweeter,
but you've gone bad."

black vine
…
once a healthy vine
nothing there, nothing growing
become a rotten fruit

rip it out, root and branch
bring falling rain to cleanse again

I flinch
at the whistling sound
of the harmattan breeze

how do I trust
this fleeting season

#TankaThursday trust
#Haikufeels flinch

coin face
lost in the clouds
threat of snow
a confessional voice
says “trust the toss”

kind colours
of autumn's glow
hues of warmth
and trust
and letting go

trust & love

Love without honesty
is a life collapsing trust
curiosity dangerous ~
somewhere love may still exist
burdened with a mournful weight
