.


today,

while watching trees

hold up the sky

I note

that they grow tired,

shifting to-and-fro,

and so

I warm the wooden handle

of my kitchen knife

to slice through blue

in one clean cut

like gutting fish,

spilling heavens all-around

while everything

beyond my comprehension

slowly scribbles down

like Nietzschean confetti

I like this. Gutting blue and opening up heaven and exploding every thought into open awareness. That's what I see here. (isn't it fun to see how weird a stanger's interpretation can be, like playing telephone with poetry!)

Wow! This is so beautiful... I loved the way you present this interesting idea... Splitting the gut of the heavens... :-) You really are amazing, you know?

"Splitting the gut of the heavens... :-)"

Thank you for your comments, but your phrasing conjures a new image ... what if by slicing blue, it rains down laughter? A single solution for some of the world's problems, released in one fell-swoop.
