Unnamed Feast Day
Color commemorates.
For this adventure two
years in the making, bring
memories of the tallest
childhood trees. Add
the electric flash of a red-winged
blackbird. Combine with
a tinge of gray because
you are that age of loss
& absence. But why did you
buy a pink crocheted purse yesterday?
Well, you simply did. Fill it
with air, feathers, three pebbles,
and one silver hoop earring seeking
a match
This Morning What Was Foreshadowed By the Spider Web in the Geraniums?
In a deliberate act of inconvenience, who placed the open jar of Kalamata olives on its side? When did the bed grow so large? Where did she put the scissors with which she removed your head from the photo?
Whatever is decided on the remaining question, I do want to take the opportunity to assure You there will be an opportunity to view the electronic proof, prior to the release of the link.
Too Many Doors
to count.
Or is it
windows?
Escape & entrance
a variance on each
other & always
paired. So tell me
are you arriving
or leaving; did you mean
to wear those pink socks?
To-Do List
-- order doesn’t matter
Listen to Mozart & Charlie P. Learn the names of the hummingbird that frequents neighbor’s red feeder. Conjugate “to put or place” in Latin while changing water in gladioli. Google, then cook the handful of hyacinth beans bought at the farmers market this morning; paraphrase that Eliot line about the hyacinth girl.
Faizah Ahmad Rajput is a visual artist and poet living in Los Angeles, Ca. She is currently working on her first book of poetry at Otis College of Art and Design, where she is as an MFA candidate in writing.
The background drawing here is part of a larger body of work, a series of one-minute freehand sketches of Faizah's sleeping experiences next to her person. The drawings will accompany the dream poems, which are the resulting products of those nights.
She is on most social media platforms.
