Flying off into the sunset. Commuting business woman in front is already asleep and misses the safety brief. Scared first time flyer behind with sweaty forehead and white knuckles. Smiling stewards and stewardesses slamming their aluminium cupboards. The infant in the back row screams from top of his lungs, sensing his mothers unrest. A last check, all seatbelts fasten, chair in upright position and no blinds down.
Out on to the runway and with a muffled command to cabin crew the pilot gives full throttle. We fly off, off into the setting sun and you find yourself wondering why there life jackets under your seat and not parachutes.
Relax, you always come down. Ha de Gött!


I see at last
a shining light
far away
at the end
of the tunnel
I hope it is
not a train
Keep calm, walk on. Ha de Gött!


Side by side in perfect harmony.
B-flat, ha de Gött!


Through the window of the shoemakers house. The pot and the bucket put up for a last display in the front porch window. A time capsule house where only the spiders reside.
Things stop, but time goes on, ha de Gött!


One week late, the Easter bonfire. This tradition dates back the mid 1700 in Sweden and Finland. The are lit to welcome the spring. Mostly to scare of the Easter witch flying on their broom to the island Blåkulla to feast with the devil.
Easter is the day when Swedish children traditionally go trick or treat dressed up as Easter witch or Easter man. Sadly this tradition has lately faded out and been taken over by the imported Halloween tradition.
Fly safe, ha de Gött!


There is a hole in the reason
there is a reason for the hole
Be reasonable, ha de Gött!


Now once again I find myself
in this terrible predicament
a weight of the world
on my sloping shoulders
pulse banging hard and fast
shivering breath and pearls of sweat
three times of every year
this cycle of horrific fear
one of the those repeating event
I need to find my wife a present
One down, two to go. Ha de Gött!


I wonder what to write
often this inner fight
should I write a quote
or an ode to a leaking boat
brighten up my life
an poem of love to my wife
full of speed a sonnet
and stick it to my bonnet
Sail away on a sea of words, ha de Gött!


Little red hut
by seaside discrete
was anything but
Hold on it will clear up, ha de Gött!
