Lifts, numb hands and splinters part 2
Portsmouth March 21st
we start at 11.02am
we finish at 11.43am
images flicker into life
sound scanned
interruptions in first run
Fielding and fencing word and question
lights dim
louder rerun
immerse observations
as mamba eyed wire
wriggles into view
hexagonal costs
in nature
found
soon
we leave
to find relief
in warm teas
unpicking
the moments
a situation
became real
not confined in
grey matters
or pencil line
on grey
paper
we
return
dis-articulation
each component
a role reversal for
2 days assembly
components
stacked
for big
times
we share
a short walk
omelette’s beckon
ham vs mushroom
declaring
I am no longer scared
by wonders and glory
I will talk to
anyone
pepper
packet
hidden
the eye of the storm
is
observed
against my
blue sky learning
complete with
hair grips
on tiled
floor
to train
while the rain
continues to speak
today was a good day
today was a good day
today was a good day
today was a good day
today was a good day
was a good day
in more ways
than one
8.02 I write a hastily remembered journey list lost at 8:42 and rewritten 20 minutes later
1. brain conversation plus rain consultations with smile at leaving
2. unsteering unicyclist ardently passes to close for comfort
3. dark leather wind flaps over untied shoe laces 20 paces in-front
4. miniature continental drift proved in grey pavement observed rifts
5. hastily move to one side as ‘scary eyed’ girl passes to the right in cycle lane
6. blue topped lunchbox destroyed with content strewn across roundabout road
7. red light observation over bridge uncrossed by distracting conversation
8. relief of familiar turning – unlocking with brass keyed home to food motivated welcome
