Starvation
The beauty of the world is lost to me,
my eyes are misted to the shining moon,
birdsong a racket of cacophony,
to even music are my ears immune.
My soul unhinged, how long before my mind
will fracture, useless neurons firing blanks
into a wasteland, empty, misaligned,
with fate a cosmic joker playing pranks.
Spare me motheaten platitudes, I pray,
some things are well beyond what can be changed.
Tomorrow is a replay of today,
only the date and time are rearranged.
I never mastered sinian chi ku,
and choke on toasted bitterness and rue.
~ copyright 2016 RC deWinter
"Chi Ku" is Chinese for "to eat bitterness." This refers to the ability for one to endure hardship without becoming a bitter person.
The full moon illuminates the beautiful foliage and a farm field on a November night in Cornwall, Connecticut. Reimagined and painted from a photograph by Brian Coppola.

I love the giant moon and the gorgeous rich colors of the trees! And I love your sky! There's magic in the atmosphere here. And the contrast with the emotions of the poem is marvelous! Beautifully done! l/f!
RC DeWinter replied:
It's a bit more saturated than my usual, so while I was at it I created an exaggerated moon as well. I'm glad you think it works, Meg, I value your insights, thank you.

I love this gorgeous, if not somewhat lonely feeling work. Your story speaks of pain that seems without end. What I have often called the long road of regret. Gorgeous work my friend.
