[Senna Jawa]

I don't mean here single words but two poems which are worded differently (that's why they are two, not one ) but mean essentially the same.

Here is an example:

about my former lover (I)

i don't miss you
but i know that you miss me, a little
half of it -- missing my missing you

about my former lover (II)

i talk to birds
your phone talks to static
your mailbox collects autumn leaves

In a way they remind me of Stevens' Thirteen ways of Looking at a Blackbird, just in a little way. *smile*

About Fall (i)

Weakest trees
change colour first,
push red leaves
to the ground -
a burning carpet.​

About Fall (ii)

Eyes dart -
forward of a mind
forgetful of today
in a body almost ready to pass.​
