KAIROS HADITHUp to the top floor in the grey steel lift – The doors slid wide open revealing gloss. We walked across the shining floors towards the end then ducked under Japanese flags and opened some heavy wooden doors revealing a restaurant of low seats. We sat at the counter joined by two guests dressed in […]
Four of us in a car driving at night. All four focussed, all silent. Shoulders shifting sideways in the curves and back. Silence. Two in front, two behind A four-cornered ambition We cruise through the night; I’m sitting in the back, staring ahead like the others. A dark universe except our grey gravelled road. Steady […]
The room was square with chairs placed against the side – four of them, all blue. White walls. I walked across the grey-blue textured carpet. There was a distinct coffee spill – probably instant coffee judging from the dull colour. The chairs were square shaped too. I took a seat on the one of them. A […]

Off Into the mist, through valleys and beyond, Far beyond into the open sea Always beckoning these fluvial rivers Welcoming you join other waters That flowed before you and will flow after you. And on […]

We were meeting up in Spain to go on a surf trip. To improve our surfing, to spend time together and get away from it all. But, ultimately, there was one thing we couldn’t get away from. I drove to Bilbao and Robert flew there from Germany. From Bilbao, in the lush, coastal North-east of […]
Like a dragon’s breathDeliriously exhaledAnd held in magical suspense Over slumbering smooth lands reaching a high hill on the horizon. Once lakes, once islandsOnce a kingdom, was this place. Lakes full of drifting wooden boats,Sealed with tar, filled with armour,Drifting slowly across still waters in the silvery moonlight.The King’s men emerging through the dragon’s breath;Expressionless, […]

In the glass towers of Frankfurt or London You can speculate, shortsell and acquire all you want Without ever having to see any of the concequences. Tonight […]
During swimming training In the pool on my own Quiet echoes, warm air: mix of chlorine and sauna pine wood. The minute clock relentlessly turning. Water lapping and gurgling into the drains. During the 200m sets, about half way I turned, pushed off, Glided, Kicked five times under water to the surface, Took two or […]
