  • experience life

    take a picture
    make a flower
    wake a dog
    chant a rhyme
    plant a tree
    grant a wish
    smell a breeze
    repel a weed
    tell a tale
    steam a meal
    esteem a field
    dream a cloud
    create a thing
    rate a herb
    bait a herring

  • break down

    at the faintest sound
    ready to freeze
    at the tiniest glimpse
    ready to run
    at the slightest touch
    ready to fight
    every fiber in the body
    prepared for survival
    ready all the time
    prepared for every occasion
    still building up the tautness
    still tightening more and more
    never feeling any of the tension
    never sensing the strain
    until the tiny cracks appear
    and the muscles tear apart
    a burning sensation
    a lack of strength
    everything tumbling down
    everything breaking apart
    no energy left
    just endless rest

  • daily input

    too bright
    too dim

    too loud
    too noisy

    too pungent
    too fragrant

    too bland
    too savory

    too hot
    too cold

    too tight
    too loose

    too crowded
    too cramped

    too much sensory input
    every day

  • surrealism

    do you want to come
    on a journey with me?

    to barren lands
    floating islands

    shadowed people
    long legged, stalking animals

    a lot of beans
    and crutches

    forgetting time
    and space

    just being in the moment
    enjoying the beauty of eternity

    too have a look at the future
    forgetting the past

    realising it is all just an illusion
    a trick of the mind

    ungraspable
    and yet as real as you and me

  • A wild construction site appears

    It starts drilling holes in concrete
    The drilling is very loud and noisy

    You put in ear plugs
    They lessen the noise

    The construction site starts working on metal
    The smell is awful and stings the nose
    Your defense is lowered

    You close the window
    The smell subsides
    The noise can still be heard

    The construction site continues its
    barrage for hours on end

    You can’t take no more and succumb
    to the onslaught on your senses
    You feel your energy completely depleted
    and need to rest, unable to do anything else
    for the remainder of the day …

  • being

    to feel myself I need to touch myself

    to touch myself I need to have a body

    to have a body means to take care of it

    to take care of it is a hassle

    some days

  • making sense(s)

    looking inside
    unwinding the brain
    picking apart
    eyes watching
    ears hearing
    nose smelling
    tongue tasting
    fingers touching
    where do they begin?
    where do they end?
    the ethical considerations
    the moral obligations

  • shopping sensations

    bright lights
    reflecting from every surface
    hurting the eyes
    loud noises
    buzzing from every speaker
    ringing in the ears
    funny smells
    wafting from every door
    stinging in the nose
    many people
    hustling all over the place
    bumping in the shoulder
    unpleasantness
    thy name is
    shopping centre
