'The Joke'
Satire flatters, by omission -
brightens, like a winter sunrise,
without feeling the frost below.
I can stand in the light
with a slender jut
of hip and lilt, an accent
undefined; the better
to exaggerate and complicate
our joint deja vu of last summer,
the joke that it was,
when we used to laugh
so differently and freely
together.
I saw the spider,
weaving wonderful in the morning sun,
silken strings of pearldrop dew,
like a vicious glistening jewellery.
“Always let nature be”
my uncle later said,
drawing conclusions
from the wells of my young eyes,
filling with pity for an entangled fly,
its struggled buzzes
clipped in confusion
like a faulty hedge trimmer
between the yard brush
and the door of the shed.
Hey, thought I would do another #introduction as I did not hashtag my original. My name is Crescent, I am #queer I love to read, paint, learn, explore. I am interested in:
#spirituality
#politics
#cooking
#meditation
#poetry
#books
#art
and hearing from all of you!
I almost never retweet on the other app, because I prefer to post original content most of the time.
However, I can see how boosting works so well on Mastodon, so I think I will start by doing so with the interesting #introduction profiles I see.
If you would like to see my own content, I post my poetry with #TashPoetry, so search away.
My #introduction. I am a teacher librarian, teaching mainly #english and senior #psychology.
I enjoy #hiking when I am not injured (plan to do the #heysentrail early next year). My other interests include #japan #japanesehistory , learning languages #japanese and #danish. I have written a short book of #poetry but am a lapsed poet due to work commitments.
I am a #bonsai hobbyist and retired #martialartist . A student of practical philosophy, I follow the #stoic school
The city's raucous carousel
rolls onward with the hours,
a theatre of scuffed shoes
and hoarse gasoline growls,
as flowers, quiet in concrete cracks
gaze on, indifferent to discord.
Wearing sunlight on their faces,
basking in burnished evening.
All they know is now.
And that's ever enough.
