Poems from jordan.kanemoto
Sweet soul of the Earth
cries unremittingly
but without compassion
for the scars that deepen everyday
This is the fault of
the her own...
A truth that should not be
shadows the blue skies
of a seemingly
isolated utopia
Distance and action
do not couple well, they say
But...
The release from restriction
from oppression
Is at first so exhilarating
Euphoria spreads
and the birds fly free
But, what qualms
always...
The spirit’s burden was
not overbearingly heavy
but twistingly light
Every attention it took
was too thoughtful
and it veiled its pain
far...
Try understanding
but disappear so quietly
into turmoil’s happy gape
that none of the present
may know you
or themselves
the way which
was...
