In view of the gap forced on me by a quite hectic 2011 I plan to take on a more active stance in the current year of 2012. Will it mark the end of the World as we know it? I do not know. I wish for change however...
Still warm as Summer´s almost gone, I sip a glass of lemon ice tea, with a twist of ginger. And breathe.
With Love,
Lady Astor
....................................................................
You know I loved you well
And hid my face amid your thighs
When I was but a child
And there was only you.
And there were mysterious books
And Playboy magazines
Sitting on the upper shelves
Of your library.
I would climb like Mowgli
To retrieve a copy
And would hide it
Underneath my mattress.
I would worship your records
Believing they were very important
And would play them
When you were away.
Did you know I used to dance naked
While listening to
“Within You, Without You”?
Well I Did.
I liked to collect blades
Because you liked them.
And so we would throw knives
In the dirt covered roads of Mercedes.
Like the time you picked up
A hitchhiking gaucho
Who smelled of piss,
Yet gave him a ride.
I miss our outings
Trying to hunt deer at 5am
But ended up shooting a road sign
In the mist.
All this and more you were,
I am not sitting beside you
And I am not tending you as a nurse,
But you know I loved you well.
