The Whisky Blot
Journal of Literature, Poetry, and Haiku
Walking through a small grove of bamboo, the breeze evokes a creaking until you need to look to insure the tall spindles are not about to collapse on you. A small child seeing you knows what you are thinking, smiles and says “they are just saying hello, so you should say hello back.” Her parents appear flustered, whether because she is talking to strangers or for fear that she is bothering you, but of course it is neither, for the girl is a Buddha dragging you into this fragile moment, so you say hello and both the bamboo and girl giggle. Louis Faber is a poet living in Florida. His work has appeared widely in the U.S., Europe and Asia, including in the Whisky Blot, Glimpse, South Carolina Review, Rattle, Pearl, Dreich (Scotland), Alchemy Stone (U.K.), and Flora Fiction, Defenestration, Constellations, Jimson Weed and Atlanta Review, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.
