impulse
desire
craving
something
savoury
or sweet
first
salted
nuts
still
unsatisfied
…
followed by
heaps of
other goodies
too many
to list
…
blaming
the weather
body chills
pants
too small
to wear
need to
go shopping
…
belly
overflowing
the waistline
taste buds
what a
curse!
what is all the hype
about iphones
i say they don’t
live up to it
if you had one
learnt to use it
then replaced it
with a new iphone
you will say
it’s the best
thing since
sliced bread
BUT
i as an avid
samsung user
made the transition
to an iphone
only to find
it is such a rigid
user foe system
hard to imagine
there is such a craze
for iphones
in general
only explained if
people never
actually made
the switch!
days seem too short
time encapsulated
magic of the forest
where each tree needle
fell to the ground
without a sound
sitting around a bonfire
listening to the crackling
of the wood sap
eyes absorbing flames
cheeks and palms
shades of hot pink
reflecting on the past days
hours and years blend
into one infinitive mass
past present and future
only fictitious concepts
piercing through space
moments ago God’s child
now just a grey nomad
well behaved adult
following written rules
the wisdom hidden
behind thick curtains
innocence dissipated
like a smoke of the fire
only distant smile remains
so fragile and deep
you would almost miss it
in a blink of an eye
the cabriolet was waiting
it was a late morning
after the wedding
time to sober up
the plan was to head north
to the checkpoints
then through them
into the land of opportunities
in the warm shower
she made the decision
it was time to put her life
into her own hands
her dreams awaited
on the other side
of the border
she jumped into the car
and only then
a sudden jolt
she woke up
sweating
still single
