Spoken word poet, host/producer, translator, freelance journalist. Wet trees ought be righted. Spells for birds.

Locomotion halts, end commotion & somersaults, snow peppers soul-vaults with tear-salt stains, a new shift wrings bones in rolling waves, sing alone when fled softness stings. Some speak from graves; none here dead, love wins, seek souls in holy ways #floem

[Kasper Salonen @root_kite]

Beginning anew, growing through slowly & surely and brimming with blues, bringing in flares of orange flame, singing on the stairs with a foreign name, it's a solemn game till you laugh in the flex of the common wave, love lingers in fingers & hexes my flourishing brain

@toniled Happy Xmas, you space-traveling humanoid!

[Kasper Salonen @root_kite]

Drone hum, dream drum on quivering bone, sun-sum beaded in bright rain & light, clean bridges & steam, warped gleam #floem

#Vappu vapor, the sun as savior & friend, bends in rivers, lenses shiver with grassroots glee, offshoots flee & singsong whispers see #floem

@AnttiHurskainen @NuoriVoima My pleasure!

[Kasper Salonen @root_kite]

sing & simmer with loss, toss & turn, burn inside out with questions, answers, dangerous chemicals, flowers grow where they fell

I've never admitted this but when Timon says "Pumbaa, with you everything's gas" I always thought he says "everything scares" #lionking

Strawberry Punch tries to perform apex, but WNF's pivot takes her out with a well-placed hit.

Snowfall on Saturn, a mistranslation, love in the time of chimaera. The embrace of space. Windfall Odin, grace mistrust with luck. #floem

[Kasper Salonen @root_kite]

I'll mostly be tweeting miniature #floems and #poetry/#slam/@hpc_ry related stuff here from now on, talking to myself, that sort of thing.
