My Satellite
..
My elevated mood
And my low mood
What does it prove?
Setting up a screening...
Setting up a screening of what is coming...
What is coming in from... my satellite...
When my five senses along with my mind...
Remain still and my intellect is not alive...
My elevated mood
And my low mood
What does it prove?
A phone booth on a bridge
In the middle of a bridge
Ringing... Ringing... It must be the CIA

Wishing Myself Away
Thinking of my freedom
An escape
This silent goodbye
This peace of mind
Thinking of my unsettled dreams
Another escape
This stranded happiness
This emptiness

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I watch the sky

Still Life With Trees
..
Just like a tree...
My leaves changing color...
And my roots remain the same
Detailed as a shadow...
Sunny whispers of confidence
It seems to be the reality of existence
A tree grows...
It happens in my own time
I make myself carry on
Even when I say to myself it is impossible...
My deepest destiny choosing the secrets and the clues
Choosing the time when I will fully bloom...

Solitude
..
The cell phone swivels like a lasso
Crowded sidewalks coming on to its camera
Maybe I am looking for company
As a detached observer of myself
It is a disturbing experience
Maybe I have changed...
And the world has become vague
Dreamlike, ... I am outside reality ...
While looking at the videos...
A pleasant emotional response to isolation
My body sensations...
My body emotions belonging to those images...
It is normal to be sleepy in the afternoon
A loss of control over my solitude
... ......

Frozen Crystal
..
I would love being a spy...
A sleeper, a mole...
I guess it is like acting, where I play a role.
Cold feet and hands
Cold thoughts of mine
My mind is clear
Crystal clear.
Frozen crystal.
Icy dust.
Static snow.
A white desert.
No sense of depth.
No recession... No shadows.
The land is one with the sky...
The sky pressing on the land.
Buildings and figures locked in the cold.
Somewhere inland is the world... The rest of the world ?
The running fog lifts on the snow in slow motion,... ...

A Moment of Peace
..
A retreat in a wood
A walk-in cabin high up in a redwood forest.
A silence so sudden that I hear it.
A moment of peace
Hole punch clouds...
Holes in the clouds by twos...
Just like eyes...
Just like fleeting looks of agony passing across the sky.
Later...
Night moves
The trees drift by, passing shadows in the fog,..
Foggy kaleidoscope

Perpetual Check
.. ...
Road lying along a shore
A field of view
A view from a lonely drone
Home and dry
The mind is a mystery
In word and deed
Lunacies get harmonized
Perpetual kid
Perpetual chess
Perpetual check
An old drawn game
Drowning in words...
... And screenplays

Long shot and zoom

Without Failing
.. ... ...
Waves
Waves in the tide
The supposed art of an unseen horizon
Waves...
Waves in the sea
Driven and blown about by the wind
And the beach...
And the beach... undecided in all its sand does
The landscape's endurance ...
The landscape's endurance carries visions and hopes...
Without failing...

Gothic Chemistry
.. ...
An agreed hour
The agreed bar
Blind date
The agreed procedure
The agreed grin
Magic trick
Strange powers that heal...
The witch and her paradoxical role
She shows up in the form of our home
And I am the hunter she learns about
Weird tips to excite our romantic feelings
Gothic chemistry becomes reality

Yours Sincerely
.. ... ...
An internal garden at a diplomatic mission
A shadow of a Boeing flying over the orchids
A greenway connects the embassy site to suburban station...
And a subway stop ...
Stop... Stop...
Stop this resistance to reality...
Sublimation feelings producing adrenaline
Where does the external world belong?
Making over business to me...
It is an old custom... Methods and jobs
Stimulate investments in movies and libraries
Yours sincerely...

Duplicate Key
..
The night headed for the streets...
But I was there first
So I thrusted the streets out into my dreams
Point of entry / exit
There is a duplicate key
And only one door ...
My thoughts turn away from me to poems....
The longer the verses remain on my mind,...
The more of my attributes they absorb
I headed for the streets
But the streets were there first
So they thrusted me out into their dreams
