"Don't make up stories"
whisper I to I
and snap back 
into the present grit
Let me have this experience
through beauty
Beauty doesn't quit



I may point at the shadow
but it doesn't show the one
who casts it
And when I'm trying to run away
I'm only spinning tires
focused on misunderstanding



Smoke dancing above chimney
I watch it in the morning
So peaceful
like Ando's Buddha hill
in snow



You are you for so long
you don't think about it
until she comes into your life
to tell breathing stories
And you look upon yourself
touched by her wonder
off you go to explore
your very own territories



The unoffended part of the soul
is where I want to write
of all the love I have for you



Tell me
how many times
you've been obsessed
with Jan Garbarek



Sudden coffee in my house
clothes weaved with cigarettes
Comfort, friends, some oil paint
a guitar, creek water, cake 
We created a whole field
of just being, simply loving
you and everybody else



Looking forward to life
as the days fill up with surprises
Pouring milk foam into my cup
what's underneath is always changing



As we walk we water
and because we're moving
we might never see the bloom
But other flowers will be on way
watered by others



Program me to understand
the subtle
Drivel masked as canyons
Colour within the gyrus 
of the mind



On days when laundry drying
is part of the decor
it's also Sunday
"Who works in moods like these?"
I ask 
If unreceived love is like
grieving
should I not give it all
to self
Instead I text
"Compare love to sneezing"
drink tea and get to work



The last bit
is the hardest to let go
I didn't know I was holding so much in
***
Turns out it was love
I was withholding



"What am I angry for?" -
I asked
"I'd like to be seen
for how much I do 
every day", -
I said, in red
And I went to her
asking to see me
Beautifully she told me
about how I weave and hold
My anger left
I'm here in peace. And love
again



I discovered distrust
in my matrix
What it is, - I asked
guarantee me no pain
bring me only the laughter?
I refuse
Trust is existence itself



Trying hard
leading way astray
searching for nothing
in snowy woods
Steps going up
white arrow at my feet
Everything's back in place
when you know your dream



Snuck out of my head
crawled outside
wrapped in my mood
almost turned into rime
gold-light-pounced fog



Наказ - ведь мудрый совет
Чем я наказываю людей?
себя? Как любящий наставник
или из установок прошлого
о том, что должен
о том, как надо



New waffle maker
comes with a person
23 years of experience
I'll just eat with my mouth shut
melting from love on the inside



Still think of you
some days
It warms up 
inside my chest
same as money flowing
through those electrical lines
Makes me happy



I feel you, Yosamu
every day as the horizon tilts
You send me away to tea
sometimes inviting yourself over



Oolong attaches to the milk
can't tell where one ends
the other starts
The taste of caves right after rain
And heaps of cardamom kick in
surprisingly as last 
Life suddenly stands out
right in my face
photicular in shape 
and very soft



Once you believe the cat is alive
and you see it with your own eyes
everything becomes up to you



He left his gold-tipped arrows
in the corner of my mudroom
shrugged and went off
to turn yawns into landscapes



Go here!

Dreaming of unpleasant
gimcrackery all night
I shouted quietly, Enough
of this nonsense
And woke up




The joke goes like this
It's hard for a woman to
choose where to eat
her last choice
brought on doomsday

But it is really so
Achieve anything
through emotions
and tell me the truth



The house threw up
bananas
bananas everywhere
Crazy people lived there
