The fields are black beneath an incensed sky that is gently blushing, soon after, as if ashamed of this outburst on such a halcyon morning. A few last stars remember the lights of swinging lanterns which were carried over these acres at three knocks past midnight, asking Demeter to nurture the grounds for the next luscious harvest. But for now, fruition fades as the leaves are wearing translucent gold before they woefully sail to the ground.

Some dance through the air as if to defy gravity. But no matter how rigorously they ride gust after gust, how tenaciously they cling to those last colours, they must land eventually. My practised smile slips for a moment while I cry one little tear. It shimmers on my cheek before it falls, too. 

Nothing is forever, I think, and thereby release the anchor. But something doesn't ring true. Change is eternal. Souls are eternal. And some bonds between  soulmates are, too. But perhaps eternity is not the same as forever.

Something tingles down my spine.

Too many blind spots from within this box.

The keynote is experience. Independence is as much an illusion as is dependency. Free will is as much an illusion as is control. And then, again, it is all that counts.

Therefore, live deeply, spare nothing, let life put its mark on you, leave the book of the dead closed. Because, after all, what is the purpose of life if not living?

I do not know.
What do you see in me?
What colours are the shades you are looking through?

Perhaps the lenses are green.
It would explain why you walk over me, all the time, as you must think the lights are on permanent "go".

In that case, I must appear to you in autumnal orange and brown.
Maybe you think I'm fallen like a leaf beneath your step.

Under a scarlet moon I might seem to bleed.
Though you'd show no satin aftercare, no steaming vigour, no repair.

Or, when your heart weather fluctuates again, as it does, all colours may fade while you reminisce about a dashing proxy - unreachable until you find back to level water.

But be cautious with what you believe to know. Your filters can only ever be a vestibule to who I truly am. Until you dare to have a look with your naked eye:

Onto black canvas spill shades of pink out of my Kintsugi heart - once broken, now mended with the gold of Komorebi light.

Dew sparkles from a flexible, yet steady branch of a tree caressed with leathery hands until it grew strong.

I may be wounded, but I won't yield to any rovers trying to rule my song.

Most do. A malaise I learnt to spot and let burn until it turns black. I use it for my canvas. It brings out the bright colours, you know - of the bistro table and the gladiolus my heart is painting.

This is where I am going to sit in tranquil quiet and commence.
What exactly?
I do not know.

A blue scrap of paper
left in the last booth by the window
like a lost shard of sky
by the patron saint of loneliness

His morning ritual
is to sit like a silhouette
against the bright neon light
of the diner

An ordinary man
with an extraordinarily sharp mind
observing the first scenes
from other people's windows

He is training himself
to not need anything
to not feel
like a pair of worn boots by the doorway

while remembering
how every house has a sound
and how the boundaries of not belonging
mean independence and relief

Pain's cruelty blushes
as the sky turns red paying respect
to the man who on his way home
picks a yellow dandelion

Wurb

You pull the brakes with a WURB. Crestfallen, I leave the road we have been on together and exit onto a path less travelled. The highway never led anywhere. Adroitly serving the shit you throw at me as a refection, you taught me to anticipate poisoning. No acerbic plans in this. Just the fossil of a painful memory becoming the weapon of attention and weighing down each gentle move, followed by simplified complexity that is stopping any refreshed start in its tracks. 

I know of the biodegradable core that is your banished heart. But I don't want your decaying past to be the taste of my tomorrow. The insight, a quiet arrival, is almost being scared away by the sharp sound as the drafty door of the vehicle closes, leaving you inside, as I stand in the drifting evening mist. Another night without a plan, I think, when I walk into the gloam, my matches too wet from tears to light the first lantern. Soon faded to a mere midnight silhouette, I harness the comforting silence on these paths of peace. 

While I walk in meditation, the moon is slowly clearing the area under her curves, illuminating the inner strength now gleaming like a waiting key that I had almost forgotten. In the now waking light I realise: No meteoric ascent got me to this point, but rather setting one foot in front of the other, over and over again, each step an elevator to a higher ground. Or up to even ground in the first place. No other person and no technology could have done this for me. It is something solely in my power. The smell of cinnamon rolls is drifting through an open window. I walk into the store next door and buy myself a new cup - like a bird on a tree collecting building sticks from bare branches because Spring is still too far away.

Family -

The kinesis of concatenated, compulsory footsteps that decide which velvety toad we will osculate next, while suppressing intuition whispering to cut connections with those basking in their toxic behaviour as if it were a legacy of royal blood.

How can not only I but also my experience exist?

The answer lies beyond the narrow passage out.

They will call you a black sheep, a shraminist even, as they will have no words for this atrocity.

But I'd rather be that than continue dwelling in the hell of self-sacrifice's demands.

In the abandoned house, you can hear screams of horror at night. In the shadows, you can see evil eyes glowing in the dark. No one has returned from there alive. People are disappearing all over the city. I went inside quietly and I saw them.

Chaos

Life had taken its toll
Too gullible, too vigorous, too destructive
She had almost thrown in the towel
The screams ebbing away inside her
could have woken the dead
But there is something peaceful
about rock bottom
It is like the eye of the storm
on life's chaotic path

First comes forgiveness
As in giving back all the projections
Then quietly
her light begins to shine
outward again
A slight touch of it
is breaking the mirror completely
Its illusion decompensating
into a kaleidoscope
of versatile reflections
At last
she is seeing herself
wholly
Lovingly

A harvest unexpected
She still has no such thing as control
But she is confident
that she will master its absence

Phoresy Travels

The ravine will look beautifully serene. Like an ethereal Komorebi garden where fragments of gold and green will reflect from the surface of a little creek that will give new life to trees becoming restorative park shadows. Brambles will offer themselves abundantly, evoking memories of homemade blackberry jam wobbling in the jar with a bold 'PLOP' upon the first opening.

After the wheel will have turned.
After the world will have stopped tumbling.
After this total eclipse will be over.

Until then, even the rat that carried the toxic element will be wishing on a shooting star for the acidic ghosts of passions past to vanish. 

"Do as I should have," it will tell every unlucky passer-by, "not as I did."

The Last Working Payphone
(To "Violet" by Hole)

And the sun melted the moon
And the stars fell to their doom
When satellites began to fail
The modern world began to wail

We need to pay
With coins, how clever
We need to pay
With coins, how clever

In this abysmal stench
Larvae crawl inside my ear
In this abysmal stench
Larvae crawl inside my ear

Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone
Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone

And the sun melted the moon
Greeting all our modern mobile phones 
mooning

Hey, I'm the one with no connection
I feel ripped off of my protection

We need to pay
With coins, how clever
We need to pay
With coins, how clever

In this abysmal stench
Larvae crawl inside my ear
In this abysmal stench
Larvae crawl inside my ear

Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone
Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone

Yesterday I stood in my garden and called
Now in this abysmal stench larvae crawl 
inside my ear

Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone
Yet, we all stand in line
To use the last working payphone

Keep at hand all your coins

Yet, we all stand in line
The last payphone, the last payphone, the 
last payphone

Common Horrors

It is short after midnight when I wake up. Rain patters against the window panes of the cottage. Little streams form between rows of grapes, making the vineyard's parched grounds fertile again. 

A couple of forlorn paper cups in the driveway turn into behemoth barrels for three drunk fruit flies. 18 tiny legs are desperately treading water as three pairs of wings get soaked. ... Then only 12 tiny legs are treading. ... Then 6 ...

Then, the rain stops.

6 tiny, tired legs are still treading water under one soaked pair of wings, now stone-cold-sober.

Finally the paper of one of the cups breaks, the now unfettered content causing a tsunami on one of the cobblestones. Two pill bugs, a little moth, and a spider are losing their lives. They simply were in the right place at the wrong time.

The only survivor is one fruit fly that has been washed to the shore of the third cobble to the left - one millimetre before a rain-filled pothole. Exhausted, the fly stays there until the morning. Once the early sun has dried its tiny wings, it drowns its trauma in a glass of red wine. This time, the container does not break.

When I enter the kitchen, I admire the morning sun gilding the drops caught by an abandoned cobweb outside the window. I don't even notice the tiny cadaver inside the stale wine as I pour it out of the glass and down the drain.

On the left, the island of Kuda Villigili Resort is visible. Between the island and the boat, the sun is low on the horizon, mostly obscured by low clouds. However, the golden light of the sun breaks through the clouds, illuminating the lower part of the blue sky.
