Day’s pictures

Day 1581, straight through.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1581.jpg

I am looking

through a window

inside of you

from where the outside

is faded

~

but I only

see straight through you

and see the tears

on your eyes

from the inside

Day 1580, concrete.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1580.jpg

A massive

concrete structure

is hanging over me

~

it woke me up

in my dream

~

its weight

is keeping me

pressed

in bed

Day 1579, twilight.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1579.jpg

I see bright light

and myself

standing still

at the end

of a dark tunnel

~

I stared so long

in twilight

trying to see this road

I am afraid it will disappear

when I step

outside

Day 1578, roof.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1578.jpg

I felt protected

for many years

~

but the roof was corroding

from the inside out

and one day the rain

came down

inside

and woke me up

Day 1577, stares.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1577.jpg

I remember the house

where I thought I grew up

~

there was an old chimney

a corner where I played

and my father closed the door

~

in my memories

he was never there

in reality

he often stares at me

standing in front

of my reflection

Day 1576, harshness.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1576.jpg

The harshness outside

makes it hard to see inside

~

in my shadow

I can just see a switch

but I am not sure

what it will

change

Day 1575, many years.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1575.jpg

The windows I see through

are not cleaned

for many years

the world seems this way

to be really

shitty

~

when I finally go outside

and look back

I see this way

that inside it also

seems to be

really

Day 1574, room.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1574.jpg

When abandoned

we make stories

of the objects

we see

~

in their eternal silence

they make room

for us

Day 1573, yellow.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1573.jpg

Sometimes it seems

that the leaves have fallen

midsummer

~

while I stare

upwards

I can see a shimmering warmth

underneath the crown

of the forest

and when I go

towards the edge

I can feel the yellow leaves

between my toes

~

the sun gives life

and at the same time

it’s pregnant of death

Day 1572, stale.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1572.jpg

I can not open

the window

from where I sit

~

I can see

some of the horizon

but it is the smell

that I think

I miss

~

I can get up

but it is still

not to stale

where I sit

Day 1571, work in progress 2.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1571.jpg

The first light

and movement they sense

still wet

and lost

gives them no

thoughts

only

reactions

~

slowly

they grow

and the world

gets projected

from this one

reel

~

and it is still

flickering

when they close

their eyes

and dream

~

for them

there is no other

sunset, color of grass

or fear.

~

there is no other

Day 1570, hang.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1570.jpg

It looks like

all the lines eventually

come together

somewhere near

the end

in the distance

~

till then

I just hang my thoughts

on them

Day 1569, only.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1569.jpg

When I have

closed eyes

~

my mind

can get caught

in a net

filed with life

~

I can only

suddenly escape

Day 1568, attach.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1568.jpg

When I

attach myself

I feel

this hard pull

when we leave

Day 1567, my.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1567.jpg

My reflections

are divided by pillars

holding up

heaven from earth

~

my reflections

show scaffolding

warehouses

antennas

a ghost

to you

~

I hope

you take this

in account

Day 1566, weathering.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1566.jpg

Statutes

In stone they are

carved

in time

~

weathering the silence

of their conversation

till they fall
