photo: Tenby, North Beach, the bond with nature is very strong, whether ones wants it or not.

excerpt from a poem published in Moebius magazine no. 39 in 1989

The fracture of the earth that looks at me with all its eyes, that lingers in dying, heightens my sense of defeat and the evening’s distress. Keep going straight and you will reach where my icy rigor proves nothing, where your lips set in boredom are already paling, where your barbaric eye is fading.

You tremble strangely at the threshold of my disarray, which suddenly reintegrates into the course of history.

photo : Split Apple Rock, the boats come and go to this part of the world, a spot so popular it has been selected as a stop in the local monopoly.

In the fog of loyalty

shadows move

following a path that seemed

mapped out in advance but

instead reveals the limits

of its territory.  Who are we?

And what does that mean?

to a wise  eye and a sympathetic ear?
