GOODBYE MORNING PERSON

Sit up
Stretch
Yawn
Head quite empty
Woozy
No remembered dreams
Before anything else    COFFEE!
It’s the cats and me
Squeaky teeth
Sponge bath    or shower
Shave
Nothing profound 
Just life
Just plain naked
On the avenue   ...

The day’s hot-the wind like a convection oven
Blows hot air in our faces.
My cap and gown insulates me
Baking me like a potato wrapped in aluminum foil
I desperately fan myself and look around
My eyes search for...

Our horses are running, to save our lives.
Distance traveled to far to decribe.
Our horses quick hooves trample the grass.
We can not slow, horses hearts must surpass.
Faster we go with our eyes firmly fixed.
Changing terrain, fences...

Winter is saying its last goodby to my lonely garden
as nature turns the page to another chapter as
it has done though-out the ages. 

The earth now free from the grip of Old Man Winter,
I welcome...

I drift off in memory
To Carmel-by-the-Sea
We drove up to Monterey
Where you gave your heart to me

Then walked out into the ocean
Caught up in the salty breeze
As we loved each other
I felt the waves wash over...

10:43:26 AM 
And ten weeks later 
You'd be gone
But your socks 
Are still here
You looked so bad when you left
Barefoot without a care,
Solitaire

The blanket you wore 
You had sworn you'd tear
Before you'd leave again
All tattered...

I got out off the cab to say goodby
uncertain of the surprise waiting me byy
she jumped on me and tightly she hugged
like spider she was and i felt like a bug
 
her fragrance was mild...

Oh Lord Mama went away 
in the winter of 05
And now she's resting 
by our Papa's side

Lonesome highway 
crosses their path
Winding roads and
two lonely bird baths

And  scented flowers 
filter  the air 
Reminds me...

I am cutting ties
that I knotted to a faraway soil.
Exiled no longer at the tiller
of a long beached fishing boat
that bobs only on the legends
of ancient waves.
Those fluent in soul-breathing,
the Celtic poets, 
those wind-chiming lyricists,
are...

I had bought my first pair of glasses
I stood at Egertorget
I could see the castle clearly
I could see the train station clearly
I couldn’t see clearly before

I had followed her to the train station
I had given...

Walking on a cold November morning the woods are bare the old leaves going or gone,
Mist covers the land and clings onto wet spiders webs that hang from the stark trees,
Who could enjoy this time...

Yesterday I felt WONDERFUL!
No aches and pains
Happy
All signs of morbid paranoia    gone!
I could actually greet people
Offer a smile

No, I cannot promise...

Looking down I see,
so many struggling,
against time, against odds.
I feel free,
almost floating,
comfortable, like flannel.

I watch them closely,
straining to see past.
Why are they so diligent?
Why the stress?
That must be someone important for so many.

I hear orders...
