lily says i am an artist
crow through a letter box
says,what is that..

well,i can´t just do it
what ever
but need to eat..

and i can ´t be a waiter
or another cog in a factory
singular-me..

i can not pander to the fickle market
to be ignored and cheated
i am lily the free..

just one more poet

lily says, i am an artist
and as such-need to eat-
if my work is not finacially
viable, then i won´t..

i live in a garret
but still need rent-
at the illusive mercy
of the market..

i applied for a grant
(may have to vincent..)
or just be me
just one more poet..

my pretty flowers..

lily says, i am an artist
and as such pain and suffer
my meat and potatoes-
the broken lover

the nothingness of being's
thin cover..
thus desolved now and
the future

a past too hurt to be
any other..i am them-her
but hope see my light
my pretty flowers..

a cat called empathy

a cat called empathy
is not our tommy
he likes to eat

and happily see me
hungry
but i am an artist..

3 haikus..

i

a card trick
at two hearts wonder
a future of only queen and kings ..

ii

the little sparrow chirps
the silence is growing
the first star of night..

iii

the space between clicks
a pause so terrible
will be taking the world..

who can argue..

here, they are magnanimous
when it suits them-generous,
in ways hard to define..

but music is more than money
and here i agree..
love,music and wine..

something for tomorrow..

here,they think i am
thrown-in with their holiday
or they sit around the corner
and wait,patiently..

this saves on travel and tickets etc..
so that is for today
but what of the future
something new tomorrow..?!
