Rain drop –
Giotto – in
water
halo in
halo
beginning
ending
extending
return.

He really got Giotto, Cid did. Thanks, Nancy Davenport. ~ DF
With You by Mehri Rahmani
Your tender revolt
Contained by the illicit apple
Pounds in red
And your eye’s shattered diamond
A woman in seclusion
Revolves into a star
With you
On the surface of water
I am thirsty
Place the skies in your eyes
Blaze out the star
So that I can see you
The sea is peaceful
Silent…
from : The Seven Valleys of Love, trans Sheema Kalbasi Poet ,
A Bilingual Anthology Of Women Poets from Middle Ages Persia to Present
Love as saying says
is a most excellent name
in terms of saying
what otherwise won’t be grasped –
my body now become it.
Yakamochi
May the newest new
year of the beginning of
the spring just begun
today like the falling snow
the more heap up our blessings.
Yakamochi
It helps to know that the Japanese until recently followed the lunar calendar; therefore the first day of the new year was also the first day of spring as snow slid into snow drops. ~ df
