A Mind Unraveled, Heart Unbroken

This is not a simple collectionit is a transfusion. A paper heart, dissected and reassembled into 31 syllables at a time, beats here in fiveline chambers. Ink capillaries map the cartography of my existence: grief that hums like a struck bell, joy sharp enough to draw blood, and the quiet terror of staring into the void only to find it staring back. Sorrow and mirth are not opposites here; they are twin edges of the same blade, honed by the absurd pulse of what it means to be human. These tanka are not poemsthey are equations unsolvable by logic, paradoxes folded into origami cranes. They carry the weight of history's whispers, the chill of cosmic indifference, and the warmth of my hand pressed to a page, asking: Do you feel this too? Take this book. It is my world's arrhythmia, my rebellion against cold entropy. Read between the lines and find the fingerprints I've left on the edge of the universe.
