Distilland

Distilland

Flamingo dancing

in Bali

Tibetan Hills

Places to go cuz we haven’t been

5 billion olive trees growing in the desert

It’s a sound day

Nepal-Devils

I die you die

Haunting another dark night

Cosmic Gem

II.

I leave you lean

Darling, inside my soul

A pear; shaped fog

Snow comes Then the plants

On the dock

Distallants

What means

Distillants

Elves and maple train of leaves

Tally

III

Malnourished scented Souls

Prostration I Ching affair

Cannot survive the cold

In your heart

The wind in your voice

The snow on your mood

The coral crunching beneath

Your feet in the dream

Tuck the dog into the cabinet

The food into the dog bed

Burst then and quietly sleep

Cuz that’s what you do

When you sleep

Be quiet and still

At last.

  This poem is a kaleidoscope

  This poem is a kaleidoscope of movement, memory, and mystery. It is a dreamscape woven from distant places, elemental forces, and surreal shifts in perception. The imagery carries an almost hypnotic rhythm, each stanza unveiling a new layer of longing, reckoning, and transformation.

There is also an interplay between vast landscapes and intimate emotions, as that of a dance of a flamingo in Bali against the quiet surrender of sleep which creates a tension that feels both cosmic and deeply personal. The final lines settle into a whisper, a resolution, a kind of acceptance wrapped in quietude. Thank you for sharing this intricate piece, one that stays on in the mind like an echo of something half-remembered, half-discovered.
