YOUR BRAIN ON BLAME (photomorph) & BLAME (non-dream mixed format poem) by Roswila

BLAME

all too easy to
blame the object at hand,
anything’s better
than accepting one’s incapacity,
one’s own deep brokenness

it’s this vacuum dust cup that works
in a maddeningly counterintuitive way

it’s you who just doesn’t catch
my drift no matter what I throw at you

and this desperation is not mine,
it belongs to the crazed world


[non-dream tanka capped by three two-liners, written 6-30-19. BTW, that vacuum dust cup is truly a terror. No matter how many times I’ve left notes for myself about how its several pieces fit back together in the machine, it all goes awry. I swear it’s possessed! 😈 Photomorph “Your Brain on Blame” (9-27-18 2-22-18[2]) 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,
