15 Second: It Feels Like Spring in July
15 Second Poem
It Feels Like Spring in July
Write a bill and a half
weed spinach, cauliflower
and salad leafs
pick through nickers
throw it incarnate thoughts
as the wind and clouds
play chase
over the tower
I give thanks
and affirm
my able.

15 Seconds: The Mayor's Walk
Walking guide dog Yeltsin in the mucky afternoon damp we call summer over the Mayor's Walk:
A spit a spat
big dog splat
foot here
foot there
forward
around the sphere
summer shimmers
through greys
on flowering bushes
circle, go
see, spot
give time to thought
then
let go.
The 15 video can be seen at:

Today
'Your past is just a story. And once you realise this, it has no power over you.'
Today I say
today
today is the day
I say
today
to do today
today
is to do the day
like the day
deserves to be done
to be today
I say
present today
strong today
here today
to be
today

All starts with a wish
Music, words, the walk, the hands...
Admitted status: 'work in progress'
From Cafe to Bar Tabac Satie
love writing him
his pace, walk, voices
Tarmac turns blackthorn blossom speckled green
Underfoot the next dream

Body: Health on seeing calves in a slaughter truck
(Hum to: Come All Ye Maidens Young and Fair...)
Meat it is a precious thing
and meat brings all things to my mind
meat with all it flavours
along with all its joys
meat brings all things to my mind.
Babies really
right, wrong,
snouts too small
wry words
cliches
stop my feet
Responsible
ownership
crates or not
I'll own my own
do my do
to own what I do
do what I own
see that:
Meat it is a precious thing
and meat brings all things to my mind
meat with all its flavours
along with all its joys
meat brings all things to my mind.

Home: Kitchen: Recipe Aubergine (Puree) Memories
 |
| a lemon is better, garlic crushed nicer |
steady, solid, grounded.
Earth fragrant he cooks
cause I didn’t learn yet.
Patlıcan poor man’s meat
carrier of garlic and spices
mild, pale, flesh vessel
which when unsure,
sprinkled with salt draws
clear drops of unhindered
bitterness, anger
frustration.
Patlıcan is a love affair
the curve of a wrist
the sure supple
knife flick, slice
the boiling kettle
 |
| when coloured and soft |
the oven
heating the room.
I: top, tail,
half, drizzle oil
in oven
wait…
chop garlic
mix olive oil
vinegar
salt
pepper, stir.
A lemon is better,
garlic crushed: nicer.
when coloured and soft
separate the skin
mix the flesh into: dressing
mix
crush for chunks
 |
| chop garlic |
whizz for silk
Annem
I watched her
he smiles a line in his cheek
and it tastes
of Istanbul
not the nomad
not the stories:
of goats, sheep,
nights under stars
it tastes
good and alive
of travel
my kitchen
home.
 |
| my kitchen home. |
