a Danish imbroglio
The Danish prime minister is appealing to Europe to stop Trump’s idea of taking Greenland and making it an American state
What he wants not that he is overly interested
is to be sure that no other country places
bases on Greenland’s still-cold soil like Russia
or China
the Vikings when Greenland had a period of thawing had farms there, which tells us the brave Vikings were mostly farmers, their fierceness is a national lie
As for Europe helping look another way they
write the declaration of good intent and should
Say, Trump, post troops on the Island, the EU
will wring their hands and do nothing
We know this when Gaza suffered a mini holocaust it lamented, but otherwise, did nothing, even Germany in her misguided sense
of guilt lasting for generations sent weapons to Israel
So, we tell Denmark you are on your own to deal
with this new situation, but to give more money for the defense of Greenland is futile
Perhaps the Danish “hygge” might help

a runaway truck
barrels through an intersection.
no one is there to be astonished
a cat hugs a dead bird to its breast
the image curls inward
like a snail shell
the mail is late
a condor perches on the mailbox
waiting
people fall out of planes
on fine days and bad
insightful
elephants run from tsunamis
the beach sunbathers
would blame global warming
if they could
politicians jockey for position
elbows out and backs slapping
then settle down into the gloss of the moment
cameras whirl
optics need say nothing
but when the mouths open
it is both historical
and hysterical
imbroglio with meatballs

Be my friend, No, not ever again, will you?
Talk with me, No, not even that, can you?
Reach to me, No, not to be, it’s true.
Run ahead, Yes, be not near, don’t see me.
Act the part, Yes, act a stranger, just free me.
Now again, Yes, I’m the stranger, can't you see.
Gone for good, the care that stood, between us.
Here now stands, the emptiness, between us.
As we were, and as we’ll be, now we are 2 strangers.

ONCE I HAD DREAMS
I HAD FIXED DESTINATIONS
AND THEN IT WENT BLANK ....

HYPOGLYCAEMIC OR I GOT DUMB?
STILL WONDERING.........

IMBROGLIO.......
An entanglement of thoughts,
where the heart fears to delve into the mind's affairs
a state of chaos and confusion....
love,fear,rejection.success,desire,feelings and passion
each fighting to be heard
but the mind goes blank...........blank....blank
