Billy

Billy was a country boy
had a used up tractor for a toy
oblivious of come what may
with a luscious girl in the hay
life like river twist and turn
ramifications of that yearn
now Billy Junior factor
plays with used up tractor

Dedicated to Hobbo, ha de Gött!

Magic

Magic

Yesterday it was two years since we had the burial ceremony for my son. My sons piano teacher Christer, who is also a church musician, posted a video of my son Edvin when plays Claire de lune by Claude Debussy at age 15. So many times I’ve heard him practice this on the piano but he never allowed me to record it. Even if it was hard to see his fingers move across the keys these gems he left for us in his music somehow makes it easier to cope.

Imposter

Imposter

I envy the ones
that never seem to suffer
the imposter syndrome

walks tall, head held high
confident clapping steps
in smart suit corridors

slips away unruffled
casually brushing off
dandruff shoulders

hands never seen 
shoulder deep in cookie jars
the real imposters

The one that got away

The one that got away

Memories, of could have been
if just alone in that scene
giggling friend intervene

across crowded train, eyes flirting
butterfly stomach, holiday fling
in the heart, a little sting

last dance so close, so tight
but separate ways in the night
bitter sweet could this been right

tongue stuck, nothing to say
growing distance in the sandy bay
the one that got away

Nothing compares to my wife, ha de Gött!

Light

Light

Evening sun reflecting full spectra of white light. Magenta, Green, Cyan. Shadows fading all the way into black.

An eternal swirling dance by sun and earth at the ballroom of universe. We’re along for the spinn, only hoping to catch those golden moments.

Like dancers fixing the gaze on something still. A snapshot of that exact moment. Keeps us from spinning off, fall over and puke.

Snapshot your life to feel alive, ha de Gött

Six pack

Six pack

Cardboard wrapped arrived this thing
long smooth neck and six string
locked in ruffed up shed
frantically played till fingers bleed
pays off with the coolest riff
rockin' hard like a giant cliff

friends with drum and base
life went off to another phase
greasy agent, giant record deal
life on a roll, that was the feel
playin' hard, no gentle song
nothing, could really go wrong

caricature like a bad cartoon
acting out like loon 
sex and drugs and wrecking room
heading fast to his doom
tucked away in rehab
made comeback like Ahab

Rock on, ha de Gött!
