like my belief in this world

all thoughts of God-gone!

All thoughts of God gone,

Goddess eats lotus petals

to help her forget*

 

(*a medicinal use of the lotus flower. It is an ingredient in the intoxicating beverage of the gods, Nepenthe, which brings oblivion.)

to help her forget

her husband brave Odysseus

Penelope spins

 

Odysseus=3 syllables. Penelope, his wife, stayed at home while he went off doing things. While she waited for him she spun a shroud as she kept sleazy guys at bay. There is a 'section' in the 'Odyssey' describing the land of the Lotus Eaters and their eating habits.

Fireflies everywhere,

and the fool on two legs asks,

what's enlightenment?..

 

"what's enlightenment?"

wondered the monk, deep in thought,

then tripped on a stump.

 

Then, tripped on a stump

neighed a donkey on a trott,

"is it all for naught?"

what's enlightenment

fireflies under the hat, frog's legs

in the pockets, salt

 

ok, nevermind- many haikus have flowed since the river was fireflies-

 

let me be the spark

and put out my head of flames

when your lamp is lit
