So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share.

Soured wine Fruit of our fears, the running away, the hunger. Survival by theft, by cooperation, sheer luck. The bittersweet homecoming generations later. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.322] (20.januar.2022) For

Sandman counts the stars Like castles that defy the waves, Sandman stands at the glistening shores of a new day counting each star as the tide embraces his feet, starting over each time he wobbles; until, like time, he washes away, each grain seeking its own destination; the stars blinking out in dismay. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.318] (18.januar.2022) 8 lines for

Sycamores Whither old sycamores of my mother's childhood; how long since they cut down our elm? Whither cold tears I spilled hidden in the closet; how vast the regrets I still shed? Whither warm loaves of bread my grandmother baked; how long can fragrances linger? Whither new memories I can never remember; how do those sycamores persist? © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.312] (17.januar.2022) 8 lines 12/8 with anaphora. for

up the highest hill hill highest the up — down to the lowest depths, Look — you will find me — everywhere. Even blind men know my song, the deaf my fragrance. Wander then as Wayfarers: up and down, up and down. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.311] (16.januar.2022) 8 lines ... at a slant. for

the Abyss speaks I am the crack you fall into — the depths you will never escape, in this darksome lover's embrace — the balm of bone and heart healing. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.309] (15.januar.2022) for

Ah... to be orange amidst the blue, in search of moisture, a sip of salt, a spot of warmth among the dark; light upon the fluttering breeze, a mote to please the wandering eye that settles on me, resting here, or as I float against the celestial sky. Ah, to be orange and not ignored. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.300] (11.januar.2022) For "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT" An image of an orange butterfly on blue stones "EIGHT - 01.11.22" |
The river is wide The river rests — frozen over. Memories of the past a palimpsest of snow begging me to etch new beginnnings but the melt breaks through like spring that follows winter like summer that follows spring. In autumn I thought I had time, time enough, but winter's blast has found me, frozen me here on the banks of cold waters I shall never cross over — again. © Copyright 2022 Kåre Enga [178.299] (3.januar.2022) |
9 degrees Nine degrees and falling falling it's destination zero but come the break of day old man the rising sun's our hero. Then will it melt the ice and snow or will it make me fall? that I cannot say old man put on your grips or crawl. © Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.298] (1.januar.2022) It was actually 9 degrees and the low? Who knows. I didn't get up till noon. For
