There were three friends around me
They who called my name
Three came who found me
Yet left me all the same
One came in darkness
Washed high upon the shore
Rescued with tender swiftness
Bathed clothed fed and all
The other sat beside me
Through romeo watson and van gogh
Lent me his bright blue pencil
But lost me his physics score
The third stood in the doorway
Of the old church down the street
Smiling lent me his kind hand
Whispering bless you, trick or treat
But clock ticks now October
For harvest in and rain fall
With bent boughs empty and baskets full
Ripe fruit pity does not store
Three months summer autumn spring
As many days old is fall
Three half dozen candles cold
As waits for seed thaw
"And the Air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. The Big Things lurk unsaid inside."
-Ibid-
"They all crossed into forbidden territory.
They all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved, and how. And how much."
-The God of Small Things :: Arundhati Roy-
IT BURNS
blackened spots appear, flames licking.
red serpents wriggle on the surface
like barcode scanners roving back & forth,
consuming whatever has not been defiled.
the serpent seals up the remaining loopholes of its carbon cocoon.
the rumpled fibre writhes and screams.
duel ends in another hue of grey amongst others.
the serpent sleeps away, cocoon moulded into shape.
[close up of paper in fire]
Once wooden oars dip into shallow water
the rippled hull glides to faraway shore
As silence descends on close companions
Proclaiming my heart speaks not once more
Those who drop by,
And read, I am grateful.
Those who sigh hard,
And sympathize, I understand.
Those who frown so,
And flounder, I am used to.
Those who know me,
And reply so,
I have no words to be grateful.
Verses writ not for you to know
But for mine own pleasure alone
If you may understand, in your own way
So be it, and with luck I pray.
But lonely verse, in lonely times
When we are all far
Yet before we die
May show you all, that perhaps
You never needed to know.
whyfor specs
to see life so clearly
view it as we live it
so vague so blurry
In my hands I hold a bowl of soba
I see the goodness of nature represented in its colour.
Closing my eyes I find the freshness of green fields
And the purity of nature within my heart.

First peak of the Leonid meteor shower. The Leonids are the debris stream from comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, which last looped around the Sun in 1998. The debris is not uniformly distributed around the comet's orbit however, there is a large "clump" that passes our orbit every 33 years or so. Normally, the Leonids are a meager shower of only a few meteors per hour, but when the clump of debris comes by, the Leonids produce a meteor storm reaching as many as 100,000 per hour, or a couple dozen a second. The 2001 shower was a spectacular display peaking at about 8,000 meteors per hour. The 2003 shower is predicted to have several peaks, with the last expected to be the best. Light from the waning gibbeous Moon will interfere somewhat with this peak.

on sunday night a fire bloomed
Northeast. East Northeast.
and a twin joined, till both flamed
towers into the sky.
lighthouse beacons in the night
soot cloud like a mirror reflecting the flame
back to us
till dawn they raged
letting morning greet a red dragon
of smouldering eyes, of a charred tail
like, a decayed fish suspended in water.
the dragon to be reborn

.Earth
.in space
.stars, all directions around us
[is the universe flat? round? oblong? elliptical? trianglar?]
.what 'space' does the universe exists within
.if there is 'empty' 'space', of 'nothingness'
does the universe 'fall' into it, continuously?
.are we always falling 'down'? which way is 'down'?
["the enemy's door is down"]
