evening walk
a stray cat's eyes
follow us home
just when I thought
I had figured it out
a thunderstorm—
an uprooted eucalyptus tree
on the roadside

Lining the sky
It's been years since I took a brush in my hand to paint. In my school days, I would
sketch, paint, draw, and was quite good at it. I wanted to write too, read a lot too,
get better at everything. And at some point, I think I did.
But now at the end of my twenties, I look back at the blind race I became part of
and still am part of.
Trying to keep the whimsy afloat, somehow I lost to the ways of the world.
sunflowers
a swarm of bees
buzz into my day
German translation :
Den Himmel nachzeichnen
Es ist Jahre her, daß ich einen Pinsel in die Hand nahm um zu malen. Zu Schulzeiten
habe ich skizziert, gemalt und gezeichnet und war darin ziemlich gut. Ich wollte
auch schreiben, viel lesen und in allem besser werden. Und irgendwann, so glaube
ich, ist mir das auch gelungen.
Doch nun, am Ende meiner Zwanziger, blicke ich zurück auf das blinde Rennen, in
das ich hineingeraten bin und in dem ich mich noch immer befinde.
Beim Versuch, mir meine Fantasie am Leben zu erhalten, bin ich irgendwie den Ge-
pflogenheiten der Welt unterlegen.
Sonnenblumen
ein Bienenschwarm
schwirrt in meinen Tag hinein
