I am a hunted bird
that wants to fly.
a howling fury.
rain rattling a window.
the world’s tempest.
I am utter wildness.

I’m feeling extreme nature, Misky. The bird isn’t named Babet, by any chance? 🙂

“Είμαι ένα κυνηγημένο πουλί
Να πετάξει θέλει μόνο.
μια ουρλιάζουσα οργή
βροχή επί τω παραθύρω κροτούσα.
η του κόσμου θύελλα.
Η απόλυτη ερημία ειμί.”
Thought it would be interesting to see your ink translated in Hellenic.
A warning: I have used old Hellenic grammar also, so feeding it to Google will 1. Give it a seizure , 2. Will be hilarious 😆
Good morning, M.🌤
Vitamin D deficiency might have contributed also. At this time of year, the only time you see sunlight is if you go outside for lunch; you wake in the dark and return home in the dark. It’s no wonder Scandinavia has such a high suicide rate. Which is why I’m taking my Dane for a drive today. Blow the dust off him. 😂
Another strong poem in the series Misky. I think I may have found a source for found poetry – the original and unabridged text of The Waterbabies – as told by a naturalist told to his young son at bedtime. It is full of quite bizzare passages – I am trying to look at it as a potential source but keep getting drawn into the narrative lol

I take Vitamin D encased in coconut oil for that reason. Excellent, forceful verse. I like the Greek translation (so did the ghost of Ulysses who read over my shoulder) 🙂
