persistence of the imagination
imagination sometimes acts as a shield to the glare of reality
and the shadow that it casts
is in the shape of its persistence

imagination sometimes acts as a shield to the glare of reality
and the shadow that it casts
is in the shape of its persistence
thoughts and art:
VENANCIO BANDOQUILLO
VENANCIO BANDOQUILLO
LIBRARY VAULT
The Answer In Kamakura
Paraiso
Godlings
Dared To Own The Sunlight
Unwhispered by the Tree
Of The Hills
To Climb The Sky Again
Kamakura Morning
Once Again, The Sea
Held In This Embrace
It Gives Birth to Shivers
A Frown In The Sky

and then i saw that the open field
was no longer empty...
it caught the moon.
____________________________ YOUTHYoung, wild, proud and free,
not out to break the rules
that they did not make
but out to test the limits,
even to the breaking point,
like testing the waters
before wading in,
and triggering an almost nostalgic shudder in my veins
when some would just up
and plunge in. Youth is a hardened mold of defiance
pestered to submission by elders
towards that slow pace
of perfection
of learning how to fetch
while unknowingly serving
as nourishment
to the politics of men. But life has more than one path,
different from just mouthing the mantra
that bogus is good,
and where you don’t have to kick ass
to be a hero.
Un-knot the oak
and the age won’t reveal the years
but just the spunk and spirit
it had accumulated.
Such is the foundation for change.
