COMMUNITY
communal kitchen double sink
group prayers peace maker
late nights get one to think
since they got to share an acre
who wants to be alone
gets referral from the gp
padded room of their own
surroundings a little creepy
make no judgment on the go
there is rarely one to blame
for a sold out magic show
brought the trickster fame
WAKING
liberated statue with
chain around the legs
share an act of kindness
give us free range eggs
who knows where it leads
when kids build rockets
role play robin hood then
line their own pockets
status wealth and power
display of egos round a table
come to senses if you dare
and are still somewhat able
the machinery of conflict
the greatest source of drama
to keep us on the edge of seats
and still wearing pajama

In late July, Literary Revelations will publish a superb art album by Japanese artist Naoki Kimura. Here is more info:
Capturing the Essence of Japanese Sensibility
The album stands as a testament to the profound beauty of Japanese culture through the medium of monochrome photography. It artfully encapsulates cherished aesthetic principles such as “Mono no Aware,” the bittersweet awareness of impermanence; “Wabi,” the understated elegance of simplicity; and “Sabi,” the poetic grace of age and weathering. Each photograph invites viewers into a meditative space, allowing them to perceive the beauty hidden within the fleeting moments of life.
A Fusion of Art and Literature
Beyond its striking visuals, the album harmonizes the photographic artistry with the written word. It contains a rich tapestry of haiku, tanka, free-form poetry, and short prose, each piece carefully curated to complement the visual narrative. This literary inclusion elevates the album into a multidimensional experience, offering not just imagery but profound reflections that resonate deeply with the soul.
An Artistic Treasure for Every Home
Naoki Kimura’s album is more than a collection of photographs—it’s a piece of art that speaks to the heart. Its pages promise moments of introspection, beauty, and connection, making it the perfect centerpiece for contemplation and conversation. The fusion of visual and literary artistry ensures that this work will leave an indelible mark on all who encounter it.
