When the peaks of our sky come together, my house will have a roof. ------ Gaston Bachelard ----------------------------------------- The other day, the ops clerk at work inadvertently reminded me of one more way in which I am not truly connected to this place. This tropical paradise where I have resided for nearly eighteen years now. [...]
The jungle canopy announces her approach A distant gentle roar Descending upon tin roofs and carefree minds Elephant ears bounce and sway Outside the shelter of my love She washes away all dirty doubt The morning breeze Glistening Birds sing again as sunlight beckons
"Excuse me sir but... I just need to confirm your name?" The elderly gentleman (he has to be well into his nineties) stops short but says nothing. Clearly he heard me say something but probably didn't quite understand. Either his hearing difficulties or his limited English coupled with my muddled tone (or both) could be [...]
"Good afternoon gentlemen. Jack, Dario... Howzit?" "Welcome back Brian. Beets again?" "Indeed." I set down my lunch, take a seat and start eating.
