Nur Freund?

 

Du bist 

NICHT

mein Onkel

mein Sohn

mein Vater

mein Bruder

mein Liebling

Was denn?

Was

bist du mir doch? 

Ist Freundschaft zu schwach eine Verbindung? 

nur Frund

immer zebrechlich...

Gesicht

 

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?

Word blocks

 

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

a 

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 please.

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

Droop

 

limp leaf. 

No energy, 

can’t do 

Any

thing.

Can’t

Breathe

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.

After the op

 

After the op,

she did well but 

now she’s in hosp

Ital again

in horrif

ic pain.

Ready to draw

 

Through sea green surface

it rises, ready to draw

thick black lines, and shapes

Evening in July

 We have a heatwave in the UK and there's a breeze in Hastings so the weather has been glorious.

Roses and gernaiums shed bright red petals on to the veranda. There is tennis at Wimbledon with strawberries & cream (apparently they've attempted strawberry sandwiches this year but without much success) and people are splashing about in the sea.

All this while the US cracks apart and the danger of civil war increases, while people queuing for food in Gaza get shot and Russia keeps on bombing the Ukraine. Misery beyond belief in so many places.

Here it is peaceful .....  for now.

Woke up to strimmers

 Woke up to strimmers

Whining round the fishing ponds

Mist rolled in from sea
