(haibun) power cut

This is the city of power cut.  Someone has said. The ghost of darkness still plagues us, the people. Sometimes. Sometimes evening is a wrap of darkness. Power failure? Oh, yes. Such an evening opens our stories. The stories of truths and the stories of lies cross boundaries.

out of nowhere

Sunlight flickers
driver curses
his jammed wipers.
Aqueous light
quivers on me.
I urge the cab
to stop and drop me.

I come to you,
drenched all over.

When I paid him,
the driver said,
“It’s nowhere!”
Yonder a farm,
a few cedars,
and verdant field,
there is nothing else.

You smile and ask,
“Hope there has been
no problem at all.”
I look at you.
I have reached the end,
the nowhere.

You write very beautiful poetry, m'friend, very beautiful indeed.

Loved both very much, dear Ku, the "blackout" and the "nowhere".

How good when stories bloom in the dark and bring more light into people's hearts than the bulbs will ever be able to.

Drenched, washed clean of all the hectic you arrived at "now here" ready to be filled anew to the brim with life's breath.

Hope you are fine, these poems surely confirm that you create and few other things count more.

Love and hugs.

Sometimes nowhere is everywhere you need to be. Lovely writing, Ku.
