Fast and Slow

Fast and Slow

Fast flowing water splashing down the steep.

For a moment, by night frost stilled.

By the suns warming rays, join the joy ride to the sea.

All that matter, solid, liquid and gas, ha de Gött!

Capital of Violence

Capital of Violence

Brass, straight lines, motion in perfect symmetry

Capital of violence

Cohesive, chest ornaments, balcony of small men

Capital of violence

Fear, drumming boots, waving of enabling masses

Capital of violence

Heroes, historic claims, brothers in arms

Capital of violence

King, leader of choice, our way of life

Capital of violence

Portrait, son and daughter, tears of a mother

Capital of violence

Flags, coffins draped, flapping in the wind

Capital of violence

My heart goes out to all mothers seeing their sons and daughters coming back in a black bag.

Ball

Ball

Kicked around, goal, netted, offside.

Laughter, cries, joy, celebration.

Desire of twenty-two, referee, cheering crowd.

Trimmed lawn, sidelines, corner shot.

Still, locked in, forgotten, rotten.

Round the ball is, ha de Gött!

Playing

Playing

play mates
forest and water
swirling down the hill 

in an whimsical stop and go

water push trough 
forests attempts to hold back
its friend 

float along 
branch and stick
see where it goes 

to the noisy roaring ocean wind 

freeze a moment in cold north wind
rippling to birds accompaniment
and treetops whooshing

till we meet again

Stay in the moment, ha de Gött!

Sail Away

Sail Away

Lonely fisherman sailing out to sea

Navigating shallow waters, inserts and island

Cliffs scraped naked by wind, not a single tree

Confidently steers along coast and strand

True and simple, a way to be

Life is a voyage, navigate with caution, ha de Gött!

Frozen seeds

Frozen seeds

Waiting for the playful spring winds

sail away to the soft thawing soil

kissed by the innocent April sun

sprout out tall bright and green

eaten by a hungry cow, shit!

Green, green grass of home, ha de Gött!

Cruising

Cruising

There was a warm light breeze

I sat there thinking

why good times never, last a bit longer

the fish had gone

taken an afternoon nap

sleeping it off, in the soft bottom clay

sail past me, silently

in the soft summer wind

the last day, of summer

Best things in life are free, ha de Gött!

Cool off

Cool off

They said I was getting too hot, blowing my fuses

Don’t make such fuzz, just go with the buzz

All winter sleep it off, hibernate

I was getting worked up, would not take more abuses

Fake news, just a bunch of lies to uz

There’s no winter, I will debate

Challenge, but don’t be foolish, ha de Gött!
