Inundated with success and speech.
Across a wars drag
The general quiets another speechless assembly.
His careening direction is agricultural bypasses.

Above board is mechanisms cyclical entrance.

The wound sunlight deprives banter

Where ing ill.

In visible calm he sleeps

Farthest from wars intelligence
I’m tired,
heartily sick of failing and trying
of jumping and falling and crashing not flying
Some days the world wearies me
A thousand lights illuminated

in my heart

when I fell in love.

Every day felt like

a celebration

of life

till it all ended.
The life I offer you
will be harder
than what you're used to
at first.

There will be
hardships,
conundrums
and challenges.

But you will never
face them alone.
You'll be with me,
loved like never before.

Autobiography "In den vreemde - Kronieken" ("In foreign parts - Chronicles", 2024, Frida Vogels), chapter 'Herbert' - May 23rd, 1976, Bologna

Collection "Trench Walking"
In the land of vowels and silent lore,
Where consonants drift from shore to shore,
A name was born with gentle heft,
Not Geoffrey, not Jeff, but Geof, left.

A single “f,” a subtle grace,
Yet tongues would twist and misplace face.
In Finland’s frost, with earnest cough,
I rose to fame as GeOff.

A scholar of socks and sugar rites,
Of mirrored maps and jazzy nights,
They hailed me with a Nordic nod,
“Professor GeOff” - a name, a god.

I taught the art of breath and pause,
Of kink and church and sacred flaws.
My name, a glyph, a whispered spell,
A portal where the poets dwell.

So let them mangle, let them guess,
I wear each version with finesse.
For Geof is Geof, and GeOff too,
A legend stitched in every hue.
Just poking fun at me.
