    If you attach an importance to counting, here's sketch number two.

    This one is written in an entirely different vein, more like a contemplation of the past as tomorrow my 29th year starts.

    These warm and mellow summer evenings awake the slumbering feelings of yesteryear.

    It's not to live if not in touch with souls

    That wander freely through the summer eve

    Thousands multiplied into one great whole

    Fragile stable loose and tight never leave

    A moment's doubt of greater higher awe

    That comes together as a spider's web

    In the middle in me that's natural law

    And orders all around this single web
    The centre sees the storaged gnats and flies
    That serve as supermarket for the hungry ones
    To gather there and devour satisfies
    The starved and needy souls that search is done
    So come and draw a circle bellymen
    And feast upon the well as well ye can
    A spiritual attempt at shorthand and that
    Rambles somewhat from multiple frayed
    Bits and bobs.
    I just let the words flow that come most
    Naturally to be put on paper. I'll try to
    Name these sketches poetry of the unconscious-
    Ness. The point is not to attempt a perfect
    Fit in one try but to create the rough
    And unique mould that an individual mind
    Is prone to. Later comes the fine work
    Of polishing and refining/redefining and
    Restructuring
    The message has arrived.

    I'll show you the key words and then I propose to invite you to string them together to your own liking.

    Hence my method will be free of mind forg'd manacles that go under the name of grammar rules and interpretation.

    I urge you to make absolutely sure that there is no such thing as a hidden agenda of meaning, or a strong all-overriding will of words.

    This is simply an exercise in cause and effect or in searching the unconscious associations that go with certain if not all words.

    Let us begin and may I ask you to please indulge in my attempt to find the tiny grail of this Wednesday summer evening.

    Here goes:

    filth garbage seem my bin liner sunny dry heated argument sentiment wears tears tears tiers game new ancient growth rainless painless painting photos taken long ago. sentence meaning death sentenced row row row go go counting hatred unloving cold shower windows open intelligence close absorption cough smell strong.

    Here ends part one- I should actually say sketch one. The word sketch in itself implies a high state of unfinishedness, to coin a new word.

    The ring's the thing to catch the knave. So to make this come full circle I'll have to word/work hard to shape these pregnant words this carrying group of ink into a more cement like structure.

    As of yet it's only a little more than a rock made up of randomly piled stones and pebbles, filth wears new painting meaning

    garbage bin liner row 

    seem tears long cold

    my dry tears rainless row

    sunny heated photos row

    argument game ancient ago hatred

    sentiment tiers growth painless sentence

    taken death sentenced go

    go intelligence cough

    counting unloving shower

    windows smell

    open close 

    absorption strong

    Same words rearranged. Does the game change now, I wonder? Let loose your power of impression and unleash the wilful playful flow of words and connotations to find their way. As does the summer mountain spring.

     

    (This 10 year-old piece speaks for itself I think.)

    July 2006

    My data transfer limit has again been reached at my other site, so I decided enough's enough. Welcome to the world of onesite.com. The plan is to irregularly post poetry, other writings and pictures of my paintings.

    First entry.
