After I did that writing,<\/a> there was still more time \u2014 we write for 20 minutes \u2014 so I wrote about what I could see: on the table with me, reflected in the window in front of me, and finally on the ground I could see through the window. \u00a0I felt that haiku were called for, so I wrote:<\/p>\n

coral fan in front of window
\npottery lamp reflected
\nthoughts of suicide out in the night<\/p>\n

dark night of the soul
\no night more loving than the rising sun
\nwhere did it all go?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second line is from Loreena McKennitt’s song, Dark Night of the Soul<\/a>, which is a beautiful translation of St. John of the Cross’s poem.<\/p>\n

From last week, after walking outdoors with Mocha, and paying attention to details.<\/p>\n

lumps of snow on twigs
\nbleared sun in grey sky \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0softly glowing sun behind grey sky
\nwhy does my heart hurt?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After writing it, I realized my heart hurt because, as I unwrap a bottle of supplements, I have to throw away a small piece of plastic “for your protection” and I know that small pieces of plastic are killing all kinds of creatures in the ocean…<\/p>\n

PS \u00a0I consider these haiku attempts, rough drafts. \u00a0Also, on Wednesday, two days after the writing, a friend’s grandson committed suicide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
