I Rock!


I was between a rock and a hard place

Now I'm sitting on the rock

looking back

at the hard place

and thanking my lucky stars

Not a bit

I don't miss you at all,
not one bit
except this bit
now,
I suppose

that's really only to tell you
now that I don't miss you one bit
no, not a bit
not one bit
i'm happy to report

Dear Dorthe, keep painting...

Always here. I feel its sweet breath on my neck. That neck that would have been snapped so easily. Those stolen years are back. Life's mighty clock's big arm has swung heaving the bulldozed earth aside to let me pass on my way.......
