Haiku Utterances by Marie Bortolotto |
Haiku Utterances encourages us to cultivate an imaginal way of seeing by listening to the haiku utterances in our own lives.
A few excerpts from Haiku Utterances:
pinned to the sidewalk white paper butterfly
have you stopped to say hello little sparrow
fragrance of emptiness in her hand a tiny flower
all frogs on the tree stump gone! except one

Howl Of Aliveness
by Marie Bortolotto 2024
in the morning
I open the door
go out, threadbare
into a raging wind
how to be alive?
no phone, no screens
no things that steal
the heart's affections
at the big park
a crow's caw
black squirrels whirl
in widening circles
above, a gull's cry
all the roses silent
beneath the weight
of winter's sleep
no wild animals, only
solemn remembrance
listening, the green, green
howl of aliveness
