another decade’s weight in fireworks.

Elucidating
Last night, you dreamt that seven of your ten well-tended fingernails had fallen out. Completely. Painlessly, for you no longer have the capacity to experience your own hurt. The soft tissues shiny without protection, yet soon to dry with exposure to air. Come morning, after checking your hands in the sunlight pouring through the slats of the bedroom blinds, you claw the tattered Dream Bible from the shelf, flipping through the pages until you come upon the appropriate entry. And swear you will never let this happen again.

All I learned from these endless debates about climate change and how to deal with it is the odd word “whataboutism”.

I was called for a consultation in an intensive care unit. I visit the patient, I prescribe analysis and I say that I will return to re-evaluate tomorrow. I’ll be back if the patient is still there.

A Little Change in “what to send”
Dear writers and participants on The Other Bunny,
starting from today, November 20, 2019, haibun with “I, me, my” as focus points, haibun centered on personal feelings and emotions stressing “I, me, my” aspect of your writing WILL NOT be considered/accepted.
I do this as an experiment, as my little attempt to counter the growing narcissism in the cyber sphere and in poetry in general.
I will however welcome more experiments, more “wild” things.
Haibun already accepted will be published as per usual on Mondays.
