my summer arrived. happy
she announced herself
with a smiling whisper
and a glint in the eye

insect vs. cape doctor

the paper king saw...

the flutter on by
out of cocoon silky cell
wind swept colour blur

what you perceive

in any case...
happiness is a rain cloud
dressed as a sunbeam

missing today

today
i miss you without reservation
without fear or doubt
without emotional calm
without guarantee or promises

like a black hole gulping at anything
and everything
search for you
on colourful markings and signposts
mapped, printed and issued to my memories

i reminisce the station
where sanity got off
the same platform where
love got lost with our baggage
there where the sunset was magnificent
through the window of your compartment
where your wine was sweet and
its dryness a comfort

the train left me standing
stripped like a hatchling in winter
warm like a freshly brewed hate
morose in my blind comfort

with fear of returning doubt
and the collapse of the
hole i'm filling up
i miss you
today
