a poem<br />
Holly Lee<br />
Festival<br />
She applied colour around the skin of her eyes<br />
blue tears exploding, ejecting long tails of stars<br />
My childhood memory ran like a long river<br />
children crouched next to a manhole cover<br />
shooting marbles of rainbow colours<br />
She made themselves four doves<br />
sewed together, over<br />
fancy white chiffon headdress<br />
clinging close, embracing<br />
in front of a mirror<br />
On what was worn<br />
she added layers<br />
of Venetian lace<br />
behind hidden<br />
a trance-like gaze<br />
glittering sapphires<br />
Mid-Autumn celebration<br />
water chestnut, eaten<br />
ride with dragons’ fire<br />
fire crackers roar<br />
ashes of incense shower<br />
over our heads and bodies, all<br />
tiny flowers<br />
like evening rain<br />
the days of<br />
shooting marbles of rainbow colours<br />
My childhood cinema chirps, Woody Woodpecker,<br />
clap your hands nibble our fingers<br />
the screen opened shinned, a shrine<br />
clap your hands, count your fingers<br />
curtains down, rattling calls lingered<br />
This poem, originally written in the 80s, was recently shared with Bob Black.<br />
Bob expressed interest and offered suggestions for improvement. Thanks to<br />
his input, the revised version now evokes vivid imagery and has a smoother<br />
flow.

France (June, <strong>2024</strong>) – The giant and I met for<br />
a bite in yet another French bouillon despite<br />
the temperamental weather. As we waited in<br />
line; the skies opened up spitting monstrous<br />
rain droplets, drenching the optimistic<br />
lunch crowd in minutes. It wasn’t my first<br />
submerging in the summer flash rains, the<br />
result no doubt of climate change. At least<br />
this time we eventually took refuge inside,<br />
enjoying a lovely meal and meeting a friendly<br />
duo celebrating an 80-something birthday. We<br />
ended our meal with a sip of champagne, the<br />
quintessential mousse au chocolat and a nod<br />
to immaculate service.
Poem a Week<br />

An Insult<br />
If you could<br />
straighten out<br />
an insult<br />
you’d see<br />
a frightened seed<br />
at one end<br />
begging for<br />
the earth<br />
of sweet flesh<br />
where the shaft<br />
of the barb<br />
will grow down<br />
like a root<br />
in reverse<br />
to be reborn<br />
a thousand years<br />
hence<br />
as a pink hand<br />
reaching up<br />
for water

Writhe Spirit<br />
