Choose To Move On

Written on December 5 2013, in Saint Lunaire.
You desperately try to live your truth but are not sure whether you will trigger disapproval, disappointment, or heartbreak in your entourage.

Wish I found a way

Wish I Found A Way

Written on September 2 2018, in Northcote Point.
You have no words to describe your trauma but your calm demeanor is punctuated with inexplicable bursts of anger, so you try and cherish the quiet.

I breathe at ease

I Breathe At Ease

An ode to trading better tomorrows for one's roots.

Kessafil

Inspired by Knut Hamsun's novel Hunger. Narrations are from the beginning and end of the novel (Robert Bly translation).

 "All this happened while I was walking around starving in Christiania--that strange city no one escapes from until it has left its mark on him."

- Christiania, city on the sea
- Christiania, nowhere left for me

Hunger greets me when I wake and holds me thru the day
I bow to strangers in the street and shuffle on my way
If I had a warm room with a window
I'd sit inside and watch the crowds passing down below

I don't need your empty praise or care about your sneers
No one asked me to be born to live under your fears
Sorry if my poverty offends you
I learned more from hunger than ever at school

"When we were out on the fjord, I straightened up, wet from fever and exertion, looked in toward land and said goodbye for now to the city, to Christiania, where the windows of the homes all shone with such brightness."
