Nightblurs

I have not written in a while. Things were quite blurry.

The bear

they hates the bear
they hates the claws
they hates the fur
they hates the bear

the bear was born a bear
he did not request the claws
he did not request the fur
he did not request to be a bear

so let the bear be
i say celebrate the bear
celebrate the mighty claws
celebrate the thick pelt
celebrate the danger
let the bear be

danger
beware
beware the bear
stay aware

Almost 34

I am almost 34.
10 minutes till the day is here.
My darlin'.
I can take bits of life with me.
Collect them in the dusty handbag of my mind.
A rin tin tin piano playing in the background.
A filmstrip of soundless images.
Over and over and on and on.
Fun times, sad times, times not forgotten.
I am almost 34.
I will carry them on.
