Does Calski love Calski?
Sometimes I think no.
Confusion, addiction and destruction are his friends. Or his enemies. Or his lovers. Or his employers. Or tormentors

Choose peace my good friend and come home.
Sit by the fire of life and put up your feet.
The fire will burn but it warms too.
It makes bread and consumes what is given to it.

Stay by the fire of life my friend
And do not run away
Because outside it is cold
And you will be lost!

Sit by the fire of life.
Let it warm your heart,
Let yourself remember love
And let kindness take root.

Sit by the fire my friend,
Let it burn away your sadness,
Let it consumer your grief as you gaze into its flames.
Sit by the fire and weep, let your eyes sting from the heat.

Sit by the fire my friend
And let it make you whole.
Let it bake you into a wholegrain loaf of a man
(and remember that this cannot happen without discomfort).

Sit by the fire my friend
And do not worry if it seems too hot.
The fire of life burns bright near vibrant souls like yours,
Nothing is destroyed, only transformed.

So sit by the fire and stay. Where else will you go?
What will you find there?
It will not be life but something else!
And we have baking to do.
Seized within the grip
Of chains forged long ago
Panic grasps me
Unable to move
To decide
To act
In my head
In my room
In the house
In the street
In the town
City
Country
World
Galaxy

Lost infinite space...

And twirling back again,
Contracting
Descending
Into this nervous child i find i inhabit.
Lost
Without place
Or reason
Abandoned
Alone
To stay is to be crushed
But I cannot move
Not because I am restrained
Fear inhabits me
Ties me to the spot
Whatever will happen will occur
I will watch but not take part
I am encased in glass
Frozen
Life calls to me but I cannot meet it
I will not meet it
This is my reluctant home

— The End —
