Katana Bones~

Katana Bones~

A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPole

Born with a blade

Spine etched with blood grooves

Archangel in kimono

Patterns tattooed into the bones

Dragon Imprints

Tamahagane soul unwinds in scales

Yakuza with laugh in the belly

Tatara in his tar iris

Her glass hand through his spleen

Love in a locket

Jade third eye

Jaded girl with katana bones

Watches world swim from a distance

Pulling memories of Ninjato man from the clouds

Born with a blade in his soothing killer hands

His blood grooves in her shiny katana

Featured Review

"Born with a blade/Spine etched with blood grooves/Archangel in kimono/Patterns tattooed into the bones/Dragon Imprints"

The thrill-ride leaps out all indie supernatural.

The tight glossary stiffens resolve.

Katana tatara rocks molten.

"Love in a locket/Jade third eye/Jaded girl with katana bones/Watches world swim from a distance"

Confessions of the weary warrior worldling/wordling wilderness wildling -- yet wise.

"Born with a blade in his soothing killer hands/His blood grooves in her shiny katana"

This fine work ends up being a meditation on a refinement of killer instinct for me. There's always a killer at the spiritual core too. "If you meet the Buddha on the road -- kill him," exhorted rowdy Zen master Rinzai (referring to iconizations, not murder licensing).Or the active aspect of Shiva hacking a village to pieces and sitting on the pile of dead bodies in meditation -- there's only God, m***********s -- hence the Destroyer when he's not sublimely aloof Love Anchor of Shakti. "Killing me softly with his song."

Living, loving, sexing, mythologizing, poetics as martial art. Bone sword in the furnace.

Oh, now this is a book all in itself, sweet lady... the woman, the mind, the legends, the blade... I often wonder when you will actually write it...

Thank you for the educational note. It helped a lot. I always appreciate your work and even the decoding that I have to do, but reading Selene is always an adventure.

"Her glass hand through his spleen

Jade third eye
Jaded girl with katana bones
Watches world swim from a distance"

this was my favorite part... it is clearer than ever that no katana nor wakizashi can divide your words, so gracefully composed...

I like the way you set up your poems. I can feel each verse even though I am not 100% sure what the words mean- each sentence comes to life, nevertheless. Your poems are worldly and concise. No added fluff or unnecessary wordage. Very well done.

Sounds like a dangerous love to me. Thanks for your definitions, as without them I'd be lost. Makes sense that a Jaded girl would dream of a killer Samurai. Nice piece. did she kill Bill?
