07/29/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Our souls are only the
Side we can see; regime
Of lost consciousness

Blast from the Past:

In the waiting room
For dental surgery.
What even is an
Experience
If you can’t remember it
Afterwards?
What is consciousness
Without memory?
As anesthesia
Dissipates
My questions away

07/22/25 A New Landay Poem for a New Day

My plane departs towards a new world
A long long time ago, I left my own world behind

Everyone I meet here welcomes me
Cultural cousins of the ones I just visited

Kindred spirits but islands apart
Many here cannot afford to see their fellow kin

A short flight, but they might as well be
A world away from this island that makes up their home

A world I can traverse on each of
My many flights as I hop around to see what’s here

This one is a landay poem, which is made up of 9 syllable then 13 syllable couplet. They are supposed to demonstrate contrasts.

Blast from the Past:

Tossed into this world
You will receive everything
Will it be enough?

I suffer from life
Heavy eyes and empty brain
The roads are traveled

Blast from the Past:

When sleep finally
Catches up to me, I’ll rest
For eternity
