This seems to be a bunch of haiku, put one after another, although the order does not seem to be random, it seems to be on purpose. Excelent b haikus, they make me think so much stuff, specially cause they open your mind they leave it freeer than before to your imagination.
ReplyDeleteI like this words
"language of, for avoidance" pretty dangerous ones, I feel like lately I have been living of those four 4, their are the main force in my sad word these days.
Well it will all get better they say, Whatever I do not know what or who to belive anymore now.
Thanks dude and take care of yourself
Yes they are haiku-like, although I make a bit of a joke about 'haiku moods' in the second-last fragment. So I suppose they're not to be taken too seriously.
ReplyDeleteThey're just fragments of daily/domestic life. I like playing with fragments. The form was an experiment, perhaps not a totally successful one, but I can take my lessons from its failings too.
It sounds like you're not having the best time at the moment. I hope things do get better. You highlighted the 'language of, for avoidance' line. That's a recurring theme for me. The Buddha said that desire is the root cause of suffering. There are two sides of desire: craving and aversion. If these can be overcome, then suffering ceases. So the story goes... :)
