going against wind
is like probing the paranormal
your hair blows more than backward
like Achilles' winged heel
you strive against the invisible

Notes to Self:   October 2008

1 October 2008

I went a wandering and a pondering came upon a pond

and in the pond were some frogs

and below the frogs were some lily's

and below the lily's was the water

and below the water were some tadpoles

and we all went a wandering in the pond a pondering

and round the pond was the world

full of love & darkness

peaceful as
a sun warm leaf

garden
by David

glad wrap
in the garden
picked up another window
to see through

each new day
clinging to sky
with eyes
ground with feet

he sees the senselessness
in staying
never to leave

as Eve
led Adam
out of Eden
sable image
whose only light
were the stars
shining

he has left the garden
glad wrap in hand
no larger than a pea

in colors he hears
the happy sound
of birds singing

 by David © 2008

night only is a soft bed

stars holding silence
like glass
one may fall
all sadness 
consumed
as if to fall
from eternity
were magic

so much for new beginnings
still

the sun does not lose warmth
nor the birds call less

Moss
by David

darkness growing darker
into darkness

like moss upon a rock
beside a pool of water running

water which is life
running faster and faster by

waiting for a hand to hurl it
into the water which has run by it

morning came
the birds survive
their nest of warmth

   ~~~ 

the bird that flew away
has left a sound
of wings

the air
so disturbed seems to scream
an absence

   ~~~

newspaper
you browse past sadness
for cartoons

   ~~~

each sock
a different color
like days

Spirals
by David

day coming   sunlight spirals
from the leaves of gums
summer spreads across
and takes us all with its heat
ties become loose
round our necks   heat does that
hands throttle the throat
and the tongue becomes dry

we move in a world of hum
car   office   home   the shopping mall
air conditioners send a chill out
and water forms on windows
giving a morning view at noon
children in the street
carry towels   and surfboards

animals are quickest to learn
only the hunger in their belly
bring them out of the shade
they have no obligation
to do what we do
they are like the bikers we see
do what they want to do
when they want
offer them a $20.00 bill
they wont take it you know
won't swap their place in the field
for a monetary pittance
like I will

talking
by David

i am talking out of habit
like tying your shoe laces
or brushing your hair
though my life is full of shortcuts
and i don't really need to do laces
because i don't undo them in the first
and i don't need to brush my hair
because when it's wet
i dry it with a towel
and shake it loose
like a lion though i'm not really a lion
i'm more an eagle
because i dream of flying a lot
and they say well i read it
at least if you dream of flying
over strange cities you're really an alien
from another life and hey
that's cool but i don't really think
i'm an alien i just think
my life's full of shortcuts.

I am wearing cheap glasses

underpants

and sadness

tomorrow I may

change my sadness

to laughter

keep my undies

if they are clean

tells
by David

you bury them
in your heart

bring them flowers
everyday

they make moments
bright with sorrow

too often looked at the night sky
and feeling distance
turned back inside the house
