Day 1264, in front.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1264-1.jpg

I see it

a few times a year

laid out in front

of me

hoping it stays

colorful

and clean

Day 1263, ancient.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1263-1.jpg

I see

an ancient landscape

where my roots are

detached forever

and my mind

an artificial

line

Day 1262, leaf.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1262-1.jpg

I detach

and fall

for a short time

colors stay

vibrant on the hard soil

underneath

the tree

where I grew up

Day's pictures, Poetry

that smart

Day 1229, I squint.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1229.jpg

I hold

a glass

filled with tears

and

I squint

at

my memories

in soft

focus

and see

a lamp

fringes

at my grandma’s

dinner

table

my past

the source

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1218.jpg

through

a black

and white window

slowly moving

over deep seas

Day 1200, sea.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1122, I stare.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1122-1.jpg

I stare at the point

where to connect

it moves

slowly

hard to focus

a background

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.

Day 1041, The bridge.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1041-1.jpg

The bridges end is near

the other side seems to be behind

*

I stop and look down

reflection is what I find

*

time streams

but looks frozen

*

far in the reflection

I see myself

*

as I was

without depth.

Day 1032, for you.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1032-1.jpg

Seen from above

from far in time

patterns emerge,

or maybe it is

that details join

to perform for you

Day 1030, never looks back.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1030-1.jpg

Moving over

elaborate rails

gilded, thoughtful

allusive sleepers

a future for the fortunate

or the one that never looks back

Day 1026, chains.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1026-1.jpg

from a past to a wished-for future

not intersected

by realities chains
