Doggerel

I was licking it like a kitten licks its fur.
I was combing and coaxing it ‘purr… purr…’
It snorted at me and ran away to online.
My disheveled doggerel with the waggly last line…

a Wind horse

A wind horse gallops
on the fields of dreams with ease.
You crave for riding
but you cannot get your tongue
around its authentic name.

a Tumbleweed

The Norns lost my clew
That is why I have no fate.

I’m a tumbleweed.
I fly from fate at full speed.
I never look round and wait.

Braille

Sometimes I think that I must live without
My ears.
The slops of words just flow into this downspout.

Sometimes I dream that I must live without
My eyes.
The loathsome things just settle on this hangout.

My nose, mouth… The ineffective stuff.
My fingers would be quite enough
For my escape from this dull jail.
God bless you, monsieur Louis Braille!
