Aching thoughts I dreamed of streets often dark light of some thought that had and still has meaning

I didn't spend hours although I wanted to taken photographs later 'when I knew what they were'

I thought vision was how we spoke words but visions are spoken in your mind and a photograph is for

seconds

Like lunch

Dreaming as a kid I sought a dark street as you can't see someone dark in a dark street and colour

is nothing more than colour or half colour or dress and freedom and peace is there for those seconds

in your mind for in every 'bird of array' is one that is acknowledged

But to be different to leave is to speak words

What Chinese culture could be worse than the English "know your place" or the Japanese "a raised

nail is knocked down"

In words you see the world 'if you can' and you don't experience the world - just a few snaps of

feeling, some coming back again - in so many words

I will try and parody Wordsworth on Singapore

'Watching women swinging picks in the evening air watching the 'of the night' as you also

saw the umbrellas of women moving through the jungle

Swinging backwards and forwards dancing, dancing, as buds in an early season who developed late in

the previous year

and retain "their magic"

Magic that swayed touching everyone with life

I haven't written in this style in a long time. I enjoyed this!

This creates a magical vision, Bodger.

To be able to be touched with life, when life itself is threatened is a gift of the heart.

Love,

I find I am going back to old styles

I kicked against the traces for new styles and now I find myself understanding the old styles
