I can feel the cool of the forest…

I can feel the cool
of the forest–in rain drops
on Mexican plum.

I wish unicorns
could purify my water.
Alas, they cannot.

Autumn clings to trees:
fire tangled in winter,
waiting for the fall.

My Dearest Neighbor:
kindly ensure your pit bull

From the neon woods:
pink tinsel; peacock feathers;
bright lights; plastic snow.

Zen Twittering

Truth be told, there aren’t any truths. There are patterns in life, like railways, and we can jump from train to train if we so choose…

Even that is untrue. I see my life go one way, and I may want to go another way, but change is difficult, even for someone who loves it so.

There is one constant in my life: I write nonsense. What I write is meaningless, but it isn’t. I am ugly, but I am pretty. Can’t you see?

I’m off to investigate a distant glimmer. Here, have a haiku: Following the flood / I should have built a box fort / to keep out demons.

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Larissa

My heart is buried
underwater, beneath reeds
you cannot trample.

“Turquoise”

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Larissa

My eyes look turquoise
when white is red–strange how tears
make me beautiful.

“The Sun Gods are Doomed”

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Larissa

I dreamt
the sun gods of California
did not grant me permission

to leave, but I said:
“At least I won’t be on the beach
during a quake.”

“The Symphony of Waves”

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Larissa

A conch shell captures
the symphony of waves, the
heartbeat of abyss.
