If you

Poetry

Day 1407.jpg

After

a long fall

I landed

softly

on the ones

that fell

before

me

Day 1389, keyhole.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1389.jpg

The light

shines

on the door

but doesn’t reach

all the corners

~

I look

for the keyhole

in the darkest

Day 1388, I open.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1388.jpg

It feels

like a room

where it is

dark

~

I scuff slowly

touching

hoping to feel

something

~

a shade opens

its light

outside

and the floor

I see

inside

seems

to be

~

all

tied up

Day 1385, storms.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1385.jpg

The roof I live under

is thin

when it storms

I feel it

~

by chance

the structure

that supports

is strong

and holds

Day 1377, draining.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1378.jpg

I sometimes

feel drained

~

hanging

face down

in the air

~

hands

through the slits

where I feel

the freedom

as they move

Day 1355, moving forwards.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1355.jpg

The clouds

are grey

and the hills

nearest

agree

~

soon

the sun will set

and only

the light

planted in the past

will guide

me

through the ever

greyer

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1324.jpg

I turned

and a dark forest

arose

from where I was

before

~

lost

~

though

soon

the familiar

sound

that brings

you down

brings you back

to the light

like a stream

to the sea

Day 1315, three brothers.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1315.jpg

Three brothers

walked to the edge

of a dark forest

~

one was looking back

into the light

~

one was looking back

into the darkness

~

and the other

welcomed them back

Day 1214, bleached.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1214.jpg

Washed ashore

bleached

by the sun

a

manic

depressive mind

to

closely

connected

by its roots

with the soil

the noise

of life

Day 1192, lock.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1192.jpg

When it is gray

dark gray

the lock

innards

are exposed

understood.

But still

the exit

is hard

to open

Day 1188, constant order.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1188.jpg

Mechanical waves

hit

in a constant

order

like nature

interfered

by my

thoughts

Day 1183, draft.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1183.jpg

The sun shines

cold water

shallow

between your toes

in the sand

~

the sea withdraws

you in

where the ground

slowly

disappears

~

you float

alone

whiteout

time

~

and see

mountains rise

from the dark

expanse
