“What is reasonable is real” – Hegel
…
They say she’s
the real deal. But she’s an un
-reasonable soul, really,
attempting to cultivate con
…….-tent
……………-ment
amidst all this crazy sway.
She’s seeking some softer
-er sound than silence,
some more sober space
than now, her
auth(or)
en
tic
self, between the bound(ary)
lines. She’ll be just
fine, as soon as this breeze
blows through and you
and he and she all just stop
yapping, sapping her
through
and
………through.
What’s real isn’t
always
what’s true. Open up
the sky; cloudcry her
a song. Scribe something
in stars, or stairs leading
…………somewhere
else, or a slice of sigh
-lence she can hold
in both hands. Stand
next to her in the rain.
Play around the ruff
-led edges of a phrase.
Throw in
some commas, a hyphen,
a hyper pen ready to fly.
Ask her
every question
under this tangerine sun,
except
………………why.

“and you

“What’s real isn’t
always
what’s true.”
“cloudcry her the sky”
“a slice of sigh else”
“a hyper pen read to fly” (Do you mean “ready”? I love “read” or “red” or anything else you want it to be.)
“Ask her
every question
under this tangerine sun,
except
………………why.” … Oh yeah, baby. LOVE this.
Yep. Ready. 😉
Ok, first I do not agree with that quote at all.
“cloudcry” – I love that!
Ahh… but “the why” is wherein we find divinity. Along with inside the sky.
A “softer sound than silence”–so true to my experience.
Love: a slice of sigh
-lence
How unreasonable can contentment be?
I love your use of punctuation to show the construction f real-ity,
and the alliteration of ssssssssss.
