…then you will sit down
in the resting area
and will be moved
when reaching the letter o
marveling over words
and close the story drawers
until your bones crumble

...then you will sit down
in the resting area
and will be moved
when reaching the letter o
marvelling over the words
then close the story drawer
until your bones crumble
photo : there is nothing like a beautiful closed door to draw my photographic attention, so symbolic in my eye anyway, this one in Ollantayambo, next to the Sacred Valley, Peru
we laughed to keep it simple
for we knew everything that
needed to be done and said
but when we opened the door
to the forgotten and neglected shadow for too many years
we would find the key
to those endless nights with wide open eyes
filled with questions about « what if » « what if »
photo: Taverna, Mykonos, I love the old mirrors that distort reality
The blurry mirror
of silvered glass, a gleam
not quite me,not quite another
like a ripple stolen from the midst of a thought
The light blurs me,
like the mist over the loch,
below the unconscious depths stir,
the ancient shadows rise,
their voices soft as the breeze through the pines
then I fracture into thousand of me,
each a whisper, a wave
breaking upon the shores.
photo: only a boat is missing (the books are in the trees), Pohara, indigenous forest.
it was in our thoughts
or maybe in our dreams
the green boat, or was it an arch (of Noah?)
leaving the shore
full of books
also green
with words we might read
in quiet disarray
on our way to the salted water
photo: photo: forest at the edge of Pupu Spring, Golden Bay. It has been increasingly scientifically shown a little more each day that the environment plays an important role in the development of several diseases, but we already knew this, in a way, because every time we come into contact with nature, a veil of calm descends upon us.
and if I didn’t make a sound
I would disappear for good
in the foliage of history and
I would listen to the silence
until the end of time.
