Customary

the customary
creeping is disappointment
concealed in a fog

I like this "shorty" very much. The c-sounds create an interesting knocking effect. I imagine the fog spreading fast in the end. Fog (but not smog) is my favorite weather, btw.

am with Jenny re: /k/ sound...in this beautiful work...


disappointment for me is fog... now i'm sitting here imagining fog concealed in fog... and wow! what strange and amazing facts i discover through this process...

one of them is that fog in fog is not a thicker fog...

@Jenny I try to work in as much alliteration as I can with these short verses. Fog is very cool. We get it rolling off the lake sometimes.

@hb The thought of fog within fog makes my mind all foggy ;)

all fogs disperse... sooner or later... and the beautiful thing about them is that nothing has changed... neither the things around us... nor our eyes... but we see things all differently when they are gone...

so what is the secrect behind fog?

separation...

it separates to get closer...

disappointment brings hope...

fog in fog is not a thicker fog... it is light...




thanks for this journey, Francis...
may light always shine in your heart...
