A competitor and a spectator

There is a moment after a race where I am still a competitor but also a spectator. I have completed the race, just now. I have given everything and in this moment I am free from thoughts. Nothing actually mattered, in the end, even though I was eager to win. When I touched the wall, […]

Why did you move me?

“Here in the city man dies oppressed at heart, man perishes with despair in his heart. I have looked over the wall and I see the bodies floating on the river, and that will be my lot also. Indeed I know it is so, but whoever is tallest among men cannot reach the heavens, and […]

Something, or …

You know how sometimes you can get a little bit consumed by something but obviously (Or distracted by it but) Nothing serious obviously but it is taking my attention. Influencing my inner thoughts, Probably. Those suppliers seem to be slipping in some bad stuff – some bad news. Maybe they always were. Making me feel […]

Sharing time, wishing

Remember those times when you called me from abroad? Both in bed looking out the window, But both seeing silhouettes of differently shaped leaves. We’d speak, relay news, sometimes complain. We often spoke till the telephone credit ran out. A strange feeling: not knowing when our conversation would stop. Waiting for time to run out. And sometimes, in […]

In the south hills

In the South Hills there’s a bird That calls itself the woodpecker. When it’s hungry, it eats from the trees When it’s tired, it sleeps in the boughs. Don’t mind about other people; Just make up your mind what you want. If you’re pure, you will get honour. If you’re foul, you will get shame. […]

Early man must’ve noticed this unique colour.He looked at the blue dome […]

Head, Heart, Hands

It’s all theory Notes on a page Knowledge accumulated from books Written by somebody else Hands clasped, or wringing Nervously picking at the quicks Around the nails Staring at an array of tools Waiting for them to speak Identify themselves Their purpose and import But they sit dumb Idle useless Just as he sits, facing […]

We can’t imagine

  It’s all too much to imagine.All this time … Gently flowing through time like a flower in a brookbecause I might as well be. There’s a universe out there. Stars and galaxies. They say we can see about 30 billion stars in the skywhich, coincidentally,corresponds to the number of men who have walked this Earth. So, over […]
