Image: One would not see
if not so desired (here)
the 12 given words:
watch outside window possum opening inclined
share world nibble foraging almond change
to relate to the quotation
"Barn’s burnt down, now I can see the moon.” - Mizuta Masahide
to watch peering outside the window
was not there but now very apparent
the moon playing possum until recently
now no more hidden from view
dark clouds bough of the oak
even the tattered curtains
all could shut out the view
not having noticed it before
but an opening inclined
to let it share a whole new world
but only when the barriers were uprooted
every setback was a step nearer to a comeback
perhaps to nibble or better yet foraging
relentlessly through almond eyes
one could detect the change
one would not see if not so desired
but one would see if impassioned inside
Mish's at d'Verse Poetics :now I can see
I like the way you describe the transition.

Nice line: "every setback was a step nearer to a comeback"
ReplyDeleteMaybe the knowledge of the moon is enough sometimes, but in the end we have to see it.
