Tears to pieces

 


Tear the corner pieces 

please do 

Say to me , I’ve got the shivers 

Hold on tight.





Friday, December 29, 2023

Start us up again

 
See the end, feel it.
Did we get here so rapidly?
Months waiting then quick snap.

In fast, then on the way. It should never be so quick.
My heart is still arriving.
Please say okay. Find a little space.
The time can be right. Develop
Hold on tight.

Under sail

 

I’ll be back when the sunshine’s.

We’ll go to Angel Island.

It’s out of the wind.

Usually fine weather there.

Easy to sail to.

My old sloop can do it.

Christmas good greeting

 

Hi all. Enjoy the holidays.

See your friends and relatives

Saturn


It’s far. away 


Sixth planet from the sun. And large.

95 times more massive than earth.

A lot to imagine.


145 moons rotate around Saturn.

Average radius 9.5 times than that of earth 


Sunlight, at the speed of light, takes

eighty minutes to reach Saturn.

 Eight and a third minutes to reach earth


Saturn is Ninety- three Million miles away from the sun.

Quit smoke and other stuff

 

Four or five years ago, or so, 

i quit; time moved on.

then later had a cigarette once more

it nearly knocked me to the floor .

i was dizzy and just about fell

So okay, enough for now.


These are poems and you know

how I feel.

and you know

i feel. 


the traffic rolls on in jams …  just saying.

 i hear it going,

Wrapping itself in confusion.


Find a pause, Santa Claus 

And a hug to warm things up.

Make a list

 

Working out a list for Santa Claus 

That’s what to do now

While keeping head above water or wind or snow

Figuring on which way to go.

Treading carefully 

Looking left and right 

Over your shoulder 

And under the rug 

Keeps you busy 

Holds you snug.

While you note how to make it better next time.

Week and holidays

 

Working out the days for joy and feasts

All the best wishes to everyone.

Happy tunes, enjoy yourselves 

Think of the gifts you didn’t give to friends 

Bring out the special dishes.

Mealtime for all means celebration together 

Candles at dusk 

Hallelujah

As it gets

 

They say it’s as cold as it gets.

Not terribly but kinda.

We will bundle for the low fifties

And cross the river for Mary’s Chinese food.

Getting there first this time

Cause we know it works.

So here we come in vegetables.

Familiar faces

 

They crept out and surprised each other.

Been a while since we’ve exchanged grins.

Now Again around friends from long ago.

We knew the streets, knew the greetings.

And those from whom we felt the warmth.

Here we are after being apart so very long.

Sang the old songs, it has been so long.

We’ve made plans and promises 

To share time together again.

Holiday corner

 

Pack little sandwiches in preparation,

Together to celebrate happiness and do music.

These requirements will make us ready 

For the big festing holiday.


The lord is born.

Wrapped Presents given.

Families are remembered.

Solom songs are sung,

Hallelujah.

Curled water rolling in

 

Could have been more to see.

We took in a ton, on, on and on.

We’re on our way to see the town.

Light jacket weather right by the sea.

New day

one after another they repeat in packages.

Labeled to sparkle bright.

Shine your best, Ranger.

Learning slowly

 

The phenomenon of vocabulary covers like a blanket.

Eyes open as slowly words develop.

I make typing errors and despite this move on

advancing with difficulty, working to make sense.

We’ll begin conversation with strangers.

Keep it up. Fragments will come together

Cool but okay

 

Thursday today, traffic is moving,!!

Floating along at a fine pace.

Label it a Moderate and call it passing briskly.

Seems a good day

Not too cool.

Here at Angelo’s no one too much is nearby at this hour.

Saw Franco looking worn by the years.

Surprised him,  he smiled, happy to see me. 

Been a while, surely has.

they said iT’d be

 

i’d be a rainy day they said

and sure enough we woke now

this very morning with a full solid 

umbrella full rain thick all around goings on

without pause at all.

so how’s about all this?

Preparedness for Monday

 

Shower Clean then breakfasted

Outdoors appears fine moderate this morn.

Traffic is moving; an example to follow.

Ring those Christmas bells while on the way.

Oldsters cane-walking out of the way.
