Landscape In Me (2006) Poem by Wies Blaize

Before the water the winds

What if bamboo can welter away?
What if I make the biggest mistake?
What if it does not matter a bit?

Before the winds the water

Nothing but war but weather
Whether rain or shine nor bamboo and I will be
washed away – we won’t
but survive this landscape in me

Inc dripping to the other side

As blue as heaven as black as raven as green as it should be
As it is

Like this fault this vault this void

Before the ducks arrive to bite
And what will I eat? Will I?

What!
