pictures

Day 1600, illuminate.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1600.jpg

The otherworldly

shines

above all

in the shadows

of time

~

but it doesn’t

illuminate

Day 1586, protection.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1586.jpg

Looking back

at all the misshapen

building blocks

stacked together

to form this wall

~

it all seems to fit

effortlessly

but I still remember

standing down there

between all the broken pieces

of the walls

left

by my forefathers

Day 1585, barriers.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1585.jpg

I stumbled upon

this wall last week

~

it is solid

but also made

out of many

small facets

stacked

together

~

it doesn’t really matter

it is still

standing

in my way

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 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 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 1568, attach.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1568.jpg

When I

attach myself

I feel

this hard pull

when we leave

Day 1561, afloat.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1561.jpg

From a dark

cold

sudden light

to a texture

~

this order

keeps it all

afloat

Day 1554, waiting for.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1554.jpg

I lost

most of my

hair

early in my summer

when the wind

didn’t stop

for me

Day 1553, a group.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1553

All bunched up

looking in different

directions

~

but not outside

Day 1550, twist.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1550

I twist

in to myself

and want to close

~

the space between

my two way’s

Day 1548, bends.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1548

In

and out of focus

we climb up

~

till our branch

bends down again

to where we started

Day 1544, moonlight

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1544

This flower

that once bloomed

is now frozen

in silver moonlight

~

waiting for the wind

of a new rising sun

to take her away
