Naviar Haiku 535

Come outside!
we can almost touch
the spring moon

Nakamura Teijo was a Japanese poet from Kumamoto. A great admirer of Sugita Hisajo, she started writing haiku poetry in 1918, when she was eighteen. In 1934 she joined the prestigious Hototogisu magazine and, in 1940, published her first poetry collection, Shunsetsu 春雪. In 1947 she launched a magazine called Kazabana, which she edited and supervised until her death, in 1988.

The Moon in Passing

The Moon in Passing (NaviarHaiku535)

Rhino vital and phoscyon

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River
 
There's so little information about this amazing renga poet that I decided to share another poem written by him. This one is part of a longer sequence, written in 1463:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River—
pale glistening waves,
the blank wake of drowned men.
 
About this poem, the author said: "Among the hundreds and thousands who have drowned and perished in this river
due to the disorders in this province were those whom I knew in former days. Often
I would walk along the river, gazing at the moon."

(Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei)

Shinkei (1406-75) was a renowned renga poet and critic, best known for his two-part work "Sasamegoto" (Murmured Conversations). To find out more about this interesting and largely unknown poet-priest, I recommend reading Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

PAYED TODAY  (Prod. Ego glock)

I GOT (Prod. Ego glock)

Well I never went far
Not many places I've been
Now the city's a village
And the river's a stream
And the old factory valley's a litter strewn alley
And the vivid red sunset's just blood up the wall
But don't you look down on the wreckage
'cos you're never too far from the fall

Like it or no
Unquiet Souls
Those left behind
Never let go
Oh, Unquiet Ghosts
Howls of the lost
Roaming the roads
If I can't escape
I will haunt this place
I will haunt this place
Just for the hell of it

Redbrick terraces cower
Under gunmetal skies
Like a landlocked shipwreck
Left high and dry by the tide
Unquiet Ghosts stranded far from the coast
Faded criminal boss fallen hard on their luck
But don't you look down on the broken and lost
'cos you might be one of them when you get stuck

Oh, Unquiet Souls
Those left behind
Never let go
Oh, Unquiet Ghosts
Tied to their posts
Roaming the roads, and
If I can't escape
I will haunt this place
I will haunt this place
Just for the hell of it

Soma or sertraline
Methadone, ketamine
Vodka, amphetamine
What's your poison?
Always been part of the human condition
But if we're all feeling it
Something's broken

Oh, Unquiet Souls
Those left behind
Never let go
Oh, Unquiet Ghosts
Tied to their posts
Roaming the roads, and
If I can't escape
I will haunt this place
I will haunt this place
Just for the hell of it

Timelapse

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
