Every day and in the night

 I think of Sam.


I have written two songs for her, but they won't settle down. instead they grow with fragments added. So many memories.


I remmeber ringing her and hearing that chuckle at the end of her voice

when she said, hello, or hang on a minute, or

I'm driving now, it's fine.


Telling me about how she was given away as a baby.

Just for a few months, a bit like me, really

born at the wrong time.

But actually it was the right time.

It all worked out in the best possible way.

She went back to her old mother,

I got a new one. which was more than ok.


I'm rambling again. Must get on with the songs for tonight.




 



Ich komme geflogen

Ich komme,

ich komme

fast wie ein Vogel

über Hügel und

Ocean

hierher

geflogen.


Over the sea

Over the sea

Zehn tausend Meilen

Are nothing to me.


Ich komme dich

halten,

komme dich

holen.

Fest und

sicher, 

endlich gesehen, 

hoch gehoben,

glänzend, golden,

locker and free. 


Ich bedanke dir immer

so look at the sky. 


Warte nur

Balde bin ich 

Dabei.

Verwandschaft

 

Du bist 

NICHT

mein Onkel

mein Sohn

mein Vater

mein Bruder

mein Liebling

Was denn?

Was

bist du mir doch? 


Ist Freundschaft nur eine schwache Verbindung? 

immer zebrechlich...


wer weiss.....

wer weiss?


Wieder erkennen?

 


Mein Gesicht

zerbricht

in tiefen Krevassen,


die von lachen

und weinen

Und leiden


her

kommen


Mein Gesicht

Sieht nun

Ganz

Anders

Aus

Als

Früher.


Ich

Weiss

Nicht

Ob du mich

Erkennen

Wirst.


Oder

willst?

Wrong Words

 


I stumble and

trip

over

words

that lie like logs

fat obstacles

that block my path


They

should

be

tools.

Helps not 

hind

rances.


I bend down

to

look at

them.


They

are the

wrong

words,

all of

them.


One

by

one,

I kick them away

and they land 

in

pile,

a

log jam.


I can't get 

through

or

re-

arrange

them into sense

or 

beauty.


So I

am left

with

nothing

to show

you,


you

who I am

trying

to 

reach ....


and comfort.

Gave me


Gave me,

Gave me

a massage

Baked

Bread

Vacuumed

Made tea

Made salad

Made lunch

Played reso

Watched

Football

All day

And

All of the night

he

gave

me.


gave

me.


gave

me ................


Droop

 


limp leaf. 

No energy, 

can’t do 

Any

thing.

Can’t

Breathe

Try

Ing.


His Day Off

He wanted

Betadine


But I

didn’t 

know

what it was.


Iodine,

It’s iodine

for a cut on his

badly swollen

hand but he

says

it’s nothing.


Helped a friend

move

house this morning.


Now he’s

gone on

a

long

long

drive

to see his

sister, who 

has

been sect

Ioned.
