Day 1622, at last.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The patterns I see

are forming letters

~

the words are there

but I need more distance

~

for the sentence

I need

to turn away

~

and to understand

I have to wait

till I close my eyes

Day 1621, pushed.

Day's pictures, Poetry

My opinion

got ripped

out of me

~

it still hangs there

attached to the wall

~

I think

my time

pushed me

Day 1620, news.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I stand next

to an alarm bell

~

I don’t hear anything

~

so I assume

all is OK

Day 1619, a hand.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A handprint

in a gravel beach

~

the upcoming tide

hasn’t yet

taken it

away

~

did someone

pushed

themselves up

~

or did they stop

a fall

~

maybe

they just wanted to feel

the cold gravel

Day 1618, seven.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A black dot

erased

~

standing at the end

of a long sentence

~

not

so he could write on

~

but

to deny him

a new line

Day 1617, lines.

Day's pictures, Poetry

We are still

hanging around here

~

trying

to fit in

the lines

~

I wish

someone outlined

an other place

for us

Day 1616, – – . – -. .-

Day's pictures, Poetry

There are so

many holes

in the stories

they tell

~

that it forms

a solid wall

Day 1615, clear cut.

Day's pictures, Poetry

All the fibers

tore

seamless

in my body

at the same time

~

when you told me

~

it was best

this way

~

a clear cut

and I was

Day 1614, in.

Day's pictures, Poetry

When I look

in the mirror

through your eyes

~

I see the tension

between

Day 1613, I spring.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Each day

around

and around

in circles

a spiral

till the end

working on my bounce

22/08/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1612, tightened.

Day's pictures

I will probably

not change

from the past

~

I tightened it

once down

and the paint

covering it

is dry

and still there

Day 1611, looking.

Day's pictures, Poetry

When I sit

and look

like an eagle

~

watching what you do

hiding like a shadow

behind you

~

I search for

my

insecurity

in you

20/08/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, relations Leave a comment

Day 1610, overrated.

Day's pictures

I like your embrace

it feels like cold

steel wires

hugging me

~

warmth

is overrated

when you live

in a cold world

~

lets be honest

19/08/202020/08/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, world Leave a comment

Day 1609, look at it.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1609.jpg

I like to look

at shadows

~

they show you

how the world

is

~

when you don’t want to

look at it

18/08/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology, shadows Leave a comment

Day 1608, fell.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1608.jpg

A dividing wall

lay flat

on a corrugated

blood soaked

metal floor

~

there are no people here

they are long gone

mending their wounds

~

the wall fell

but who

will raise it again

17/08/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, wall Leave a comment

Day 1607, water hose.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1607.jpg

We’ll keep them

hanging around

even though

they are cut up

in so many pieces

that they are

useless

~

you can no longer

water your soil

with them

~

my dear old

arguments
