Poetry

Day 1104, believe.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1104-1.jpg

When people started dividing,

in the cave we never left,

the few in front of us all

where only closer to the shapes

the shadows of what is not

for us all.

Day 1101, evolution.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1101-1.jpg

sometimes

it seems to stand still.

The other times

it is.

where the horizon

Day 1099, stairs up.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1099-1.jpg

A corridor leads

to stairs up

dimly lit

by ancient, incandescent

its filaments

humming

counting down, to their end.

Rushed by the cadence

I feel my way

up

eyes closed

foreseeing the darkness

escaping  time

ending.

Day 1098, reflections.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1098-1.jpg

From afar

you look bright, in red

I come closer

to greet

I can’t see

inside

from up here

through reflections

I see

your former

when we do

meet

Day 1097, my room.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1097-1.jpg

My room

is silently lit by harsh light,

where I stand naked in front of

reaching for a sign

that someone

opens

my window.

Day 1096, chains.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1096-1.jpg

I like to think, I wonder

what chains, old, big or small

between me and tomorrow,

that will pull. Me? Away.

Day 1095, workplace.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1095-1.jpg

Harsh light comes from outside

leaving the darkness in corners.

My workspace is well lit,

I have the time for this

just have to get the tools.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The airport routine

strangers, showing of there own lifes

going away from you, never met

while you stand, still not for them.

Day 1091, different.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1091-1.jpg

It started out as one, all the same

in time some told to go, change

falling to be replaced, worn down

still together in being, different.

Restoration of Brottsjø 14

Boat building, Poetry

On the port side Joost is busy changing more planks. We are still changing less planks than anticipated and it looks like it will stay that way.

Day 1090, couch.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1090-1.jpg

The left side of the couch

is where I stare,

sitting in the middle –

where future meets past

my silence –

of the room.
