Rotten

Damaso

A stabbing pain in my parietal region
makes me see hell
and heaven
the same radio
on a different frequency

Lying on the bridge
calm water
white floor peace
next to me
sleeps
the future

Why do my dreams
alter the world?
no one remembers
everyone is asleep

Turkish mulberry made me see
in the long conversation
love is also
rotten
and is born!

    It is from filth that things grow. Plants fertilized with manure, put out beautiful flowers. A most intriguing write

      That's right, recycle and recreate. The world we don't see also deserves appreciation. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words of appreciation. Best regards!

      A very interesting write, from filth some things are born but yet others will die in the same filth. Sometimes we need to feel bad about ourselves in order to feel good, as that is all we know, like a comfort blanket. If you are wrapped in bad people will leave you alone, intriguing write

        Wow, I like the deep meditation your message leaves behind. It was through almost agonizing pain that I was able to understand the tree's message. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words of support. Regards.

              Damaso—this buzzes with ache and frequency...and that bridge stanza? It just floored me. 😶 The surreal calm between agony and revelation is masterfully done...truly masterful. And I love that last line, "Love born from rot". Wow. Powerful, my friend. Love it! 🌹👏 A def fave for me.
