Now.

If I have told you once

I have told you 106

times.

Here,

Look at this detail,

It is significant!

relevant!

שים לב

Point your heart here.

…I know you laugh,

You and your crew;

Mocking my attention to

detail,

My scrupulousness,

The meticulous

aspect of my everyday

Life.

I am the microcosm

Without which

Nothing would happen;

I am the alpha

and

omega.

Without me

time stands

still.

Empty your pockets,

Display

Yr crooked fingernails.

Come clean

Today

& tomorrow.

They say

I am a

Fool.

Transparent;

lion

A sagging butterfly,

leftover moth;

hobbled daddy-long-legs.

Seek not for you will not,

Kind of thing.

Over here,

Under this rock,

Behind this

Table.

I am getting angry now.

You shouldn’t

have.

If you fail to

prepare

you prepare to fail.

Loose lips

Sink

Ships

Cliched

Nuance.

Life is indeed a jigsaw

of infinite

complexity.

With ever changing pieces,

Squiggles

of here and there and who knows what.

I became a vegetarian

On my eighth birthday

A vegan on my ninth.

And now

I am left with

An empty nest.

My pockets are

empty;

forgotten.

My heart

is broken;

disconsolate.

Imagine you were able to manipulate

time and space,

forwards

and back.

Imagine reality was

malleable.

I am the interminable

Spark.

The rainbow

Evanescence.

Baobab

Imagining.

Tranquilisation.

Forgetful.

Fatigue.

Mis-remembered whisper.

Shadow.

Soliloquy.

Trying to understand the world, one emotion at a time.

One thought on “Now.

  1. Take your dog for a short walk, come back for a whisky and hot milk, sleep in the company of quiet music, (throw a few plates at the wall?), and wake to a new ‘now’.

    After walking along the deep dark ocean floor, the ground will rise beneath your feet and bring you to the fresh air, and the rainbow.

    Assuming your hand isn’t damaged too as you typed a humdinger – will save for rereading when ‘crochety’!
