rant & play

Greetings Bloggers and Bloggettes - I will be offline a day or so. Up to other end of country to do family stuff.

See you soon

arrival
excitement - fumbled lines crush hugs joy
… tears

perhaps
brunch cafe, old & new bookshops, galleries
… smiles

drive
hike - forest stream, a wild rock, soaring sky
… laughs

walks
by the river or a stony shore - sunset/moonrise
… glances

night
meal, wine, concert/movie (w. critical review!)
… blurry goodnights

departure
rushed gift buy - fumbled lines crushing hugs
… brave smiles

… flight numb

… tears

“É mellor estar calado e parecer tonto, que falar e despexa-las dúbidas definitivamente.”

Google Galician - English translation:

“It is better to remain silent and appear foolish, to say the dump and questions definitively.”

“say the dump”?

i wanted to cry….
the blessed release of a primal scream
i wanted a wild hearty laugh
anything to tell me i lived

for twenty plus years
i waited
then it unraveled, it dissembled on me
a life i thought was noble if not happy
lied straight to my face

“your time will come”
and i suppose it did
but you have to watch the clock face and be ready to catch the cuckoo
or the second hand will move on
too quickly, too quickly
