Neon Carnage

Posted on May 27, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

Bright dipper nights. Something resembling form. Dragon storm nights. Something resembling formlessness. Many colours between flicker and flare. Flashes in patterns abandoned bounce across car bonnets. Hitch rides on roving motorcycles. Colours split in puddles. Falling with raindrops. Sidewalks littered … Continue reading →

Spears Edge

Posted on May 24, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

Ten thousand jewels gleam in the vast heaven. Great ocean churns to the rhythm of glistening silver. Shimmering droplets transform into an eightfold universe. Along a spears edge, Buddha’s ascent on dragon back. ~~~ Image found here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kunisada_II_The_Dragon.jpg Mixing myths.

Wisps

Posted on May 15, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

Falcon Arrow

Posted on May 12, 2013 by skyraftwanderer

In emerald depths bamboo stalks bend, and bend. In jade space maple leaves sail, and sail. In leaf green, maiden hair twists, and twists. A falcon arrow stops in flight. A new world is born in splintered wood. ~~~ In … Continue reading →

Buster Keaton

Posted on May 5, 2013 by skyraftwanderer
