what do we love more
the product or its inventor
what do we love more
the children or their creator
does love pick sides
is it equal to all
come out of the trauma
leading to regrets
hurt and bare
in search for meaning
we stop the choosing
the day we realize
all is one… connected
loved

you can slumber in your bed
while i bake my sour bread
made pure without added yeast
tastes delish to say the least
full involvement of the senses
not burdening on expenses
plain seeded or little sweet
with rye flour it’s a treat
how to master opened ear
kept me up for a whole year
at the end i gave up trying
wiped my eyes stopped crying
today i bake the perfect bread
with no ear and heart instead
tasty fluffy dense just right
keeps me up whole night
day and night i dream of dough
when one ends next one will grow
hungry starter akin to a child
fed on sugars goes tad wild
Poem ‘Hungrily Obsessed’ read by the author.
roosters crowing
orange marigolds
coconut fiber baskets
gods daily offerings
smell of smoke
burning waste
sleepless joggers
broken footpath
the sea reaches out
cocoons the swimmers
sun warms the body
another glorious day
on this island
paradise
on earth
Poem ‘Early’ read by the author.
warmth emitted by a heater
legs in woolen socks
steaming hot cereal drink
in a thermo cup
three layers of tops
keeping the body toasty
surviving the elements
with no central heating
peeking outside the door
kids in shorts and Ts
playing around the pool
water almost frozen
different comfort zone
when one was a child
no weather forecast
could break the deal
funny part of aging
the heart keeps warm
cold hands and feet
having the chi on ice
