words read in Japan
centuries past in Spring
fill the room with song

NaPoWriMo prompt to write concerning a piece of art from the collection of the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two Women Reclining on the Floor of a Room and Reading a Book, ca 1730, monochrome woodblock print, ink on paper, Nishikawa Sukenobu
All mismatched socks go in a bag
(evidence that I have given up the task)
I wear the individuals until there are holes
then throw them away
occasionally
buried in the bag
is a pair
long departed from each other
and I rejoice
they are together again

This being human is more than I expected
not a turnip rooted dramatically where seeded
my mobility’s extra push is get up and go
walk in the forest
hike a mountain
swim in the ocean
pray

dVerse prompt on Rumi’s This being human is…..
Truth to rule in times of riot
that is poetry
to find a line bold yet not
making all words dance
swirling images
fluttering gutted like fish
die on the pages
