EVERYTHING IS BARELY TOUCHED-Haibun Poetry by guest author Barbara Anna Gaiardoni



I can hear the winds murmur, they wonder where you are. Everything is quiet. A flake pops off and spins away. I'll lie in the long grass, eating pears and toast to life. Look, this is how the world should see your name, okay, on a beautiful piece of art that you created. In return, you'll have a small taste of the ecstasy and insight that awaits you down the illuminated way.

will it will its perfumed

rhapsodies to me?
