The last week of winter

We heard the Simoom all night -

This was the last week of winter -

The tall palm trees bowed before the wind -

There were white horses on the dark blue dazzle of the sea -

In the Piano Bar

In the Piano Bar -

Whiskey and soda in a long glass -

Wearing a louche shirt -

Blue boat shoes - 

Cormac McCarthy -

A boy singing 

Coral Sea Sensatori 

February 2025

One hour to sunset

Tall palm trees casting longer shadows -

The sun lower in the sky -

A cool wind from the sea -

One hour to sunset -

My skin still salty -

Sand in my hair -

Sharm el Sheikh 

February 2025

Below the icy blue of heaven

A bright cloud world below the shining wing -

Listening to the engines singing -

Here in the white jet -

Just below the icy blue of heaven -

Above Egypt 

February 2935

A room still filled with memory

A room still filled with memory - 

Bentley -

A story of Africa -

A strong hand filling my midnight glass -

Ferring

February 2025

A white jet

A white jet waits for me -

Chilled by the air above the clouds -

It knows my name -

Touches the earth for just one moment -

Carries me into the dazzling sky -

The last Jamesons

The last Jamesons -

Just before midnight - 

Memory in my glass - 

The Old School House
