Land of Feel-Sorry-for-Yourself

a place to put you down

beat your ego up

Low Self Esteem for president

besieged by, enemy of you

never ending civil war

army fight call “no use”

stay down for every count

dare not to seek, citizenship

It all starts with the man in the mirror, ha de Gött!

The obliviousness book

The obliviousness book

Book full of forgotten
things un-remembered
issue release daily
thick as the book of what-if's
pocket size in constant use 
some miss-use now and then
wear it on my shoulders
every chapter, dare a read
a highly dangerous deed
largest book in the library
that is my brain
the book of oblivion

My memory is good but short, ha de Gött!

Haga Göteborg

Haga Göteborg

Autumn grey Sunday morning street. Mellangatan Haga Göteborg.

The Haga city district is the first suburb to Göteborg. It was mentioned in print already 1637 and in 1647 it was made official by order of the Queen Kristina as a home for the working class. Today the renovated district is a popular place to live and a vibrant tourist area with many cafes and small shops.

It’s never loo late or too early for a cup of coffee, ha de Gött!

The Library

The Library

some in frequent use
pages darkened by hungry fingers
'who done it'
tickling the darkest inside us

some covered by dust
only yellow by age
'who wants to know'
fuelling the creative light

during long dark nights
dark prose in the poetry corner
and whiskey stinking PI's
comparing their scars 

silent with millions of words
organised in rows and shelfs
collective minds
peaks and abysses of humanity

Growing up in a broken home in the suburbs, the library was always a safe haven. Still today I get calm entering a library or a book store.

Take care of the libraries, Ha de Gött!

The killer slug

The killer slug

After rain they come crawling

up from the wet grass

crossing the roads and footpaths

where are they all going

is it an initiation rite

cross without getting crushed

see what’s on the other side

a sluggish paradise or

a sticky mess under a shoe

The killer slug (Arion vulgaris), yes that is it’s name! It’s also know as Spanish slug. It’s considered an invasive species and a great annoyance to all gardeners all over Europe. Why it’s called killer slug I don’t know but the best explanation I heard from a child. “They are called killer slugs because you kill them.”

Watch your step, ha de Gött!
