The Shadow / La Sombra
Me and You Feb 2021
[…] And a huge shadow moves through the core and climbs out of the sea, dripping, two eyes in the middle of the face because he did not know how to make eyes. He climbs out, looking for you. So that you adjust those eyes, and cover them with your palms if need be. A shadow that would vanish in an instant if you’d give the signal.
And will you give it.
Will you.
And do you hear me… you hear me.
[…] Y una sombra enorme se mueve por el núcleo y sale del mar, goteando, dos ojos en medio de la cara porque no sabía hacer ojos. Sale, buscándote. Así que ajusta esos ojos y cúbrelos con tus palmas si es necesario. Una sombra, que se desvanecería en un instante si diera la señal. Pues, vas a dar la señal. Vas a hacerlo. Me escuchas… me escuchas.

In Truth
Me and You Jan 2021
In truth you do not
lose yourself
but find
you do not split
apart
but mend
you put your hands together

this music
that you heard
you hear
it plays
for You

Melancholy
Me and You Jan 2021
You sit by the forest and weep
a deep
deep
feeling
of loss

a world
turning inside out
for the first time
in your life


                                                              ­          You sit by the river and cry
                                    untying all knots with shaking, coop'rative hands
                                                           ­                                  a dance of your
                                                                ­                             true molecules


                                                     ­

Fate
Me and You May 2018
Every strawberry I plant
will become a field.

Every God I cheat
hates me for that.

Not every bone I break
will mend,
not every tooth
grow back.

Yet every God I know
envies us for that.

Apply bird's eye
Me and You Oct 2019
A wooden boat
with coloured, ragged sails
like a patchwork rug eagerly patched
together by two children
floats downstream

From here you see
all the way the boat has come down
has navigated through some
really critical points
and shallow water

Through some serious storms

And you smile benevolently
when you see it bravely rambling on
and sometimes lose direction
or so it seems

On the boat
on its slippery wooden planks
you stand holding on to
the mast and see
something else

There you see
howling waters coming
towards the fragile looking  bow
sharp pieces of
rock and massive bark floating by

You see the horizon and the unknown
behind it
the potential
Niagara Falls

You hear the bashing sound
of the water masses
the roar terrifies you
paralyses-

Apply bird's eye, dear

What is that you hear?

Apply
bird'eye
and float
downstream

The Moon's Longing
Me and You Oct 2020
A soft
pale-skinned child playing-
always wanting to play
always did in the past-
with the grounded kid
the one with such euphoric
nature

The two of them
oddly
know each other better than
anyone else does

And yet they
hardly meet

Me and You Mar 2020
About halfway through you know, the way is there, but it unfolds from your insides. It is the most intimate path anyone can know, there for only your feet to walk on, and yet connected to every moth, every silky feather, every wanderer on the road. It is yours because you saw it. It spirals out of your own heart, sometimes emerald green and delightful, sometimes pure darkness, horrid images and torn faces, sometimes red and wide and patient.

It will tare you to pieces regularly, it will take ages on one day and and seconds on another day, it will boldly and mercilessly confront you with layer after layer after layer of
Thick
Fear and then
That which lies beneath this fear, with all the shame in the world of touching nice things, with a heavy leaden guilt that has been hiding so well you barely recognise it, with a sadness so untouched and so exposed you barely dare to induce something else into it, with a
Fire
That scares you to the bone and at first catapults you into running, again, in awe and total, unspeakable - and unspoken -  horror.
All these bits are from a short story, from, I don't really know what it will be, to be honest.

And then we part
into storm and chaos and we do so because
we can

we know

nothing

I did not quite
Realize
How much everything back then already
Related

And why
Like a million of needles
This song
Made me ache
In the weirdest of ways

Spring Inside of You
Me and You Jul 2019
I'll sneek into
The darkest corners of your rooms
And make 'em brighter
So that you' ll
Have
To
See
Them.

And then
Once seen
They will be nice
And cosy.

And your house won't feel
Like having something strange
Inside its belly
Any longer.

Before You Knew It
Me and You Jan 2021
A sea of tears, and

a sea of tears

living eyes
Don't be so cruel, always.

of your instrument
Play it! <3

Look left, look right. What is it that is really going on? What is this running about?
You look down to your feet. Where you have stopped, a nest of bluebells has grown out of the pavement and bravely snuggles into the holes of your white sneakers, its friendly and courageous purple almost seems to be greeting you. Only, you don’t hear it yet. The sidewalk has burst open in a kind of slow motion, and the roots of a nearby plane tree have cork-******* out of the concrete to breathe the air. Two ladybugs sit on a fresh cherry blossom, looking up to you.
Now look back, think. What is all the running about?

I like to picture
the world as a

who deem this poem
to be too childish
I'd like to
hug you

What a Sight
Me and You Oct 2020
What a sight;
the big tree bending
his crown towards
the ground just to make sure -
is he still safely rooted
connected
to the earth -
for all this time his trunk
felt irritably numb and so
and so
he couldn't know,
he couldn't
know
Can you empathise?

What is a king without land
Me and You Feb 2020
He rides through
the forests the rainy leaves splashing
into his face leaving
scratches on his hairy cheek
the horse panting
his lungs exploding regularly and his
fist clenching
the glass ball in which
he thought he saw
the witch from childhood stories
taking away
his everything
he rides on pushes his heels
into the horse's flanks
in anguish in panic in
agony
for all he has he feels glides through
his open palm
and off it goes
So he rides and rides and...

Back when he was a little child and lay
on his back eyes open
in the dark in his bed
he always had his
palms open
never clung to any thing because
he was the one
creating the things
and he knew
whatever new thing he wanted or needed he could
with the blink of an eye
create


Now he rides makes the poor horse rush
through the dark woods to-
whereto?

The child rises

Whereto? Where does he need to go to-

Inside, stirs, opens the eyes-

He stops
The horse comes to a halt panting
relieved to catch up with his breath-

    They see each other
and the panic the agony the fear
drops
out of his
opened fist
to the wet
forest ground

The horse breathes
relieved

Detoxicating
Me and You Jun 2020
It's hard to expect
people to treat you
Kindly and act
peacefully if
they themselves want it
so much but never
knew how
in the first place

It's hard to see at first
that Your role
is not
to receive from them
but to
give-
if you choose-
'cause you can
Next time I 'll just say I feel disrespected and don't leave.

The Tale of Your Eyes
Me and You Feb 2021
[...]
And are you are you gonna
come
Home this time are you gonna speak
it all out the way the words are there now
are you
spilling over and are you
letting go of this age old story and
release
it to be exactly that now
A story
that you may not even want to revive for your children because the
fear
that they have to know they need to know because what if
is now
gone for good
replaced
by this massive
thing which
and it takes a while to accept
a while to
sink in and realize

is  L i f e  itself
Life that always supports
always holds ground
and never fails you
Life that
comes up with the sun and the grass and the sea
and everything else
right in front of your face
never ever pulls away from you in truth
This
is Life and this is
the only story
worth passing on

Within you there is a new kind of earth
being formed
with a new clear fresh
sea
although it is not other
A sea you dare set sail on
now
and share
and the sound of the waves crashing on the sandy shore makes
your eyes water
your heart almost
explode
of joy
Can you see it
See it
You exhale
slowly
your hair ruffled by the warm wind
What a journey
you think
What a long journey to get back here
and find everything
even more beautiful than when I have left off

How pain

How everything starts off
In the whirlwind
And is twisted
Until your heart expands
And nothing is
Without a home or left
Outside.

Me and You Sep 2019
Holding
holding
holding the strings together
of the net which is
already ripped
you are so
devastated
clutching
the wet fabric
and yet with almost
99 percent by now-

you see the picture
of torn down stone walls
houses
bridges
bricks and cans and garbage bags
all tied together in a sac
of string
and how a kid
with fatal look and scissors
approaches -

you **** well know the kid will bring you freedom
you
****
well
know-

why hesitation?
why delay?
cause things take time til their decay can be
accepted-

look up
and see the waters rolling in
look up and see
the flood

let the kid
cut
the last remaining string
and roll with it

Assertive and Gentle
Me and You Apr 2020
A fierce
little woman always
so so assertive always
having to hide
cut it down
always sliding along
the edge of self pollution
Enough!
head up Love
and
chin out
be female
be assertive

We all have masculine and feminine powers inside, and  we are always allowed to use both. I think men  could learn that assertive women are not a threat to their masculinity, but rather a friend and equal partner in creativity.

Because

Because I felt that you felt
What you said
So much
I have such a deeply imprinted

And I thought it so many times
Amd want to think it again but also feel it again. This is probably the scary part.

By the Window
Me and You Jan 2021
It is dark. Night. The girl opens the window,
looks up to where she knows Orion's belt resides behind the clouds.
She thinks now she understands time.
She thinks she sees time growing out from her heart
in an illuminated spiral, flashing green,
and not ever the other way around.
She imagines the stars looking back, benevolent and still sincere, still there, in the night sky.
Still there now.
And now.
And always.
Time is nothing you have. It is something you are. You cannot run out of it.

Vote

A girl walks
along the street in twilight voting
every second of her life
with every
shake of the head every
twist of her figure every hummed
word every scream
every time a hand is lifted
in aspiring connection
for a coming together
for removing the walls for
not looking
away from what hurts has hurt
for a long time

There's a boy standing
immobile
on the surface of the Earth voting
with every breath every muscle
every fibre of the heart
for this girl
You vote with all you have and all you are every day, not just today/tonight in one country of the world. Every one of your ideas, thoughts, inspiration has full  power to change everything.
