light splinters off the waves – white flecks sprinkling everywhere – clouding my vision as the water curls –
The Restless Wind Rustles the Wheat
The restless wind rustles the wheat today; sunshine – yesterday; sleet, a sun that dares to show its face for once and deigns to filter through the branches’ lace – A lazy tune that’s being hummed in vain with nobody […]
The Wasteland Where the Slaughterhouse Was
Overgrown with weeds, squeezed into place between apartment blocks – irregular in shape, a vast expanse of emptiness and plants – a little jungle in the middle of the city, framed by makeshift fences meant to keep intruders out (the […]
Green, Gold
The grass alights with stripes of green and gold as sunlight filters through the trees, and light and shadow divides the ground beneath in asymmetric patterns – green, gold, green, gold – of stripes, triangles and an occasional circle, disappearing […]
Grey Day
Horizon gone – the world is one – grey sea, grey fog, grey sky above Pale waves, pale world – around us whirl a souplike mist in thick, grey curls A second broken – on the sea a seagull strikes […]

Grey wood, with reddish blotched spots that spread around the hinges – withered wood and rusted metal, bent by gravity and time – hanging on by habit only, guarding still the entrance to an abandoned site where lies a meadow, […]
Descending Moon
Thin whirling veils of pink and gold are intertwined across the sky and dance in slow and graceful motion ‘round a perfect half-sphere, cold and white and drenched in mist that makes it wobble slightly to our eyes as it […]

In curls and ringlets, dark yet vividly expressed like broken brushstrokes it bends and stretches out across a piece of sky that blotched in turquoise, purple, pink and orange bids the day: “goodbye”; this oak tree, curled as if asleep […]
Danish Beach
A seagull does a balance act out on a pole, and see; a cloud that passes further out drops waste upon the sea – A wave comes lapping at the sand, the sand and sky both grey; the gull takes […]
