night has no dimension, open
to every wandering
mirage–
walls dissolve between now and then–
time sails a yondering
montage
~How~
is it possible to exit
when there’s nowhere to go?–
formless
narratives engulf you, cosmic
tides that whisper: hello–
join us
The NaPoWriMo prompt today was to “pick a poem you drafted earlier in the month and write a poem that contradicts or troubles it”. I chose “Who Is”, here
The collages above were first published in The Time Issue of the journal Feral last April.
Day 30. I made it.

A somber poem that is elevated by the art! I’ve enjoyed NPM and all the poems generated!

Thanks Muri. I’m glad I did it but it’s exhausting! I will definitely not be posting every day, except that Pure Haiku is featuring me this week–I don’t have to write anything new though, just pick some art and provide a link.

This poem is perfect for this last day. And every time I read it I feel like I’m going into another layer of it.

I love the idea that night is open to every wandering mirage. And is it possible to exit when there’s nowhere to go. That line is really cool! The art and writing do a great job of moving within the dream experience.

Congratulations Kerfe! I loved every one of your offerings, and thank you for all the inspiration you’ve given me. “Formless / narratives engulf you” could not more perfectly describe my state of mind during this wild month.

Thanks Sun. That seems to be my current state as well. Everything feels compressed and yet hard to hold on to. I’m not sure why.

You did! We made it together. I love it how your last April words were “hello – join us”. So beautiful. And the top collage is outstanding!

Two wonderful collages and I learn from you each time in looking how you put them together. The words on the 2nd one are amazing and resonant.
