A Sudden Realisation
Enlightenment # 2
For some odd reason
I just
could not stop myself
from
bringing back all those
bloody apples ..
That’s right,
those I stole from some
old neglected
orchard over there ..
Somewhere beyondÂ
where the black
and the yellow smoke
is no doubt still set
on rising ..
And even now, I recall
the look
you gave when I returned
to you in the back
of that old blue truck ..
With all the red ones
stowed safe
in the makeshift basket
of your pretty
upturned orange umbrella ..
And for a moment then
I felt like some
goddam hero might well
have felt in some
old forgotten movie ..
But then
I remembered the
single hens egg
I hid and then ate raw
on my way back to you ..
And for
the very life of me
I swear, I don’t know
why I did that ..
Maybe, because it was
there and I was
so very, very hungry ..
For some reason war
it seems
can do that to even the
nicest of fellas ..
And then it
dawned on me .. Maybe
I am not such
a fucking hero after all ..

Back with a bang you are my friend. I think sometimes that none of us knows who we really are or who.anybody else is. We are all at our core just an unknown response to any given situation. Of course every one of us knows exactly who we are in an organised civilised society where the rules are clear and our staus is at stake... but when our worlds explode for whatever reasons ...well...maybe the stranger we always were within arises. x
thank you for taking time to consider the words stacked up there Marion, as always, your own thoughts on them are greatly appreciated x
