KAIROS HADITHThere is no substitute for ‘doing’. Refining old skills and developing new ones can only be achieved through work. Trust in the quality of the work and allow it space to speak for itself. Go. Do.
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 […]
So set off. Off into the mist, Downriver with the moon tides drawing. Go fragile craft with your lights burning. 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 […]

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, […]
A broken logic sputters its utterances, desperate to be heard, to be understood. The left-handed sit and doodle on the free space at the margins of their work book pages. The right-handed sigh and stare straight ahead, resigned to their predicaments. The clock hands trail their orbit, dictating the pace of thoughts and motions in […]

’Tis past midnight. Dark hours prompt forth The last homebound along the terraced doors. Alone, in the smokey bar lounge “To the Stars” propped on the shot and faded counter, lean two. Him and a lass. And amber waiters – grubby and groggy – they grumble past the the tables. A piccolo is wedged up at the […]

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 […]
