Elderly Fountains

7 am still haven't slept
can't be fucked with today
laying in bed
arguing with my head..

Ring, ring..
"I hope you are coming to lunch, Oma and Opa are in their 80s, you know"

Right you are Mother dearest, that unsaid statement..

Could easily roll back over
dribble more lost poetic
shit, to self or..

Double shot espresso,
need to compose my thoughts
I can't be fucked today
as I arrive late
to the dining table..

I feel a stranger here
like some tramp
pity, the invitation
daggers of sisterly scorn
blood is thicker than
water to most...
sadly you and I
have never been close

"During the war.. the meat was sliced so thin..you could read the newspaper", hard times Johan?

How I love conversing
with elderly fountains
that vast well spring
knowledge, untapped
farewells
time to leave
this strange place

Locked in my cell
empty..
black dog company
can't be fucked with today..
