For Frank Tassone’s #haikai challenge 151, autumn storm/darkness. I wanted a much gentler vision, but the Oracle was having no part of it.
delirious sleep
pounding its raw grey stormchant
wind language dreaming
mad with shadows whispering
in a momentary light

I can relate – I have nights like that sometimes too at the moment.
That wind dreaming in a raw grey storm chant sounds all too familiar. I love the creative flow of your words here. I’m sure they’ll replay in my head one night when the wind is up here.

Thanks Suzanne. I do think the nights have become much stranger.

Very much so. There’s a lot of the collective unconscious swirling around I think.

There has been lots of wind dreaming lately and whispering shadows–it’s good to know they’re also whispering “in momentary light.” That sounds hopeful. The Oracle always knows!

‘raw grey stormchant’ I can see that in real and in your painting. I see the crows too, whether they are part of it or shouting against it, I can’t tell.

I think crows are always both/and.

Wherever there’s a fight, anyway, they’ll be there.
