LAST WEAVE OF FALL (photomorph) & SUMMER SCENE (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

SUMMER SCENE

We wait, and wait.
The train platform steamy and crowded,
and oddly quiet.

Then one, two, three women,
strangers to each other,
each in her own time
lifts her long hair off her sticky neck
and twists, wraps, anchors
her tresses in an artful bower
with only her fingers
to guide her:

all this deft weaving
at the back of the mind.


[non-dream free verse poem written during a heat wave when I was still living in New York City, in July 1994; revised & posted here in 2006; re-posted today (7-22-18) during a heat wave. BTW, that term "heat wave" is relative, since I've yet to experience heat here in CA as it can get back in NYC: barely tolerable. And though it gets warm here, as far as this old New York City person experiences it anyway, it's not all that awful. Photomorph "Last Weave of Fall" (10-20-16 002v2a) by Roswila]

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
