we lived on bean soup
the local vino too
slept on the roof
the whispering surf

and star bright..
by candle light
read the russians..
a motley  crew..

the sky blue
the trees white
busses came
and boats went..

we danced and
did what you do
when young..
what that is..

with out trust
a suitable title
for our eulogy-

lily says ***,
there´s god
and money

there´s your
dog
there is today

and tomorrow
the birds and
sky..

with out trust
we wander the cusp
neither full or empty
the collective cup

neither,down or
up-
no or yup..
pups without love..

without trust
nothing will grow
including love
and an avocado..

ii

an old friend
of mine
said
trust no-one..


iii

if ye can´t trust
yo mamma
life will be a ******
word..

iv

none trusted me
and consequently
i trusted no-one-
***..

i

certain times of day
i do the same things
my old lady says
i am a creature of

habit-silly rabbit,
she also says
and ******-what
ever that means..

mad
as
a
boiled owl..

(expression from a
new found land)
love is cruel
never mind..


ii

but i do rise at
8 30
and read till
9 30
breakfast at
10..

and play my scales
till
half past
then wash up

and then go down the
supermarket
return and
cook

at 12 30 i play an
hour-
giuliani is hot
on the books..!

lunch at
1 30
today is spaghetti
and chilled

gazpacho
watch a movie
and doze
read..

at 4
sweep the floor
water the jazz
pet the cats..

certain times of day
are more auspicious
sisters/brothers-

to be the natural man
inside
ebb and flow  

the tides
-the sun
-the moon

and the stars
mapped our way
our destiny recognised..
Michael John Aug 2023
certain times of the day,
say i am older,
time no longer plays,
a care free aire-

some times a dirge,say,
twenty past the hour,
stinted and grey,
sweet yet sour..
