Spirit Of The Wounded God
Lost in the endless maze of burning books,
Percival searches for the Holy Grail
while ignoring the homeless, sick, and poor
who linger at the gates of Paradise,
till the sparkle-eyed fairy Tryamour
offers himhttps://surazeus.blogspot.com/2026/05/spirit-of-wounded-god.html

Two Windows
A Tanka Sequence
I

In the still morning
you open the window wide
beside the table.
A cool breeze stirs the orchid,
cooling my cup of coffee.
II
Across from your light,
I open the other pane.
The air grows stronger.
Leaves whisper into the room
like all the things left unsaid.
III
Below the hillside,
a woodpecker drums the trees,
red crest among leaves.
A car passes on the road,
then fades into the morning.
IV
The wind kisses me.
I think of you and of us:
two windows open,
facing different landscapes,
yet filled with a single breeze. -

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #507: Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den.

After another sleepless night of pain it took the old man over 2 hours to drag his stiff breathless lifeless corpse out of a sunken bed of jagged thorny rocky steel and glass, unable to yet see as the classical music plays he scrapes his rigamortis inflicted corpse off to prepare the coffee as his hands shake and tremble he pours in the water and counts the scoops of grind after fumbling he manages to plug in the percolator, as the coffee begins to perc he shuffles off to the toilet where his bowels bellow ou in a hungerous rage, in the mirror foggy minded and staring blankly into the abyss his reflection and his disheveled hair and beard far to tired to care he stumbles back to his bed, where he struggles to pull on his socks and pants, he slips on his slippers and pours a cup of coffee and gently packs scraps of tobacco into his pipe and steps out the door, the glaring sun and steamy heat hits him like a wall of defeat, as the world is running to and fro not a soul takes notice of the hell the old man is forced to endure yet another day;
