Finnish Film

Sometimes all that technical information
Distracts me from concentrating on the picture

But these notes were from Finland, and
I know a photographer from that country
(I should say I know his Uncle Peter better)

It is of grass, and stars, taken at night
He uses a long exposure
To simulate the strength of daylight

It is in October, nearby the lakeside chalet
Where they ventured
Each year, for a short vacation

His website talks of beginning again
With a larger, clearer view
Larger, and clearer, than what you may ask

I could tell you of the make and model
Of camera, the name and speed of film
The methodology employed for development

I could tell you all of this
For that information he easily releases
But thats not what we want to know now, or is it?

Ses Touches

Sleep slips in
Its quiet movement
Brings the peace

And off I go; zip straight to
The Steppes, and The Tundra
Breeze by the neon-lights
Of good old Amsterdam

One more footstep
To the key locked door
Wherein lies
The bathroom with a view

Warmed so thoroughly through
In luxurious bubbles
Laying back
To take it all in

As the sleep
Who, with her quiet movements
Slips in

Navigators

Search for the light of love
Not for the need to fight
Ease into the sight of love
As if the flying of the kite

That we should reach
For the right of love
With gentleness to teach
That calm insight of love
Such we need not preach

Include the mirth of love
There right from the birth
Leaning our earth into love
As if for all we are worth

Lead In

By that Tree
Before this rain
Courtesy of
Dappled with shadow*

On that hilltop
Before this rain
Looking down on
A water reservoir

Under that sky
Before this rain
Hold of love
To the ripples

Far away from
Before this rain
The western shore
And sunsets light



Tree by Eva Roemer (1889-1977)

Il Senti

For a moment
Defenceless
More though
Wishing for
No defence

Entirely, and surely
Vulnerable
Yet entirely
And surely
Overjoyed

Mutually
Beneficial
A soft kiss
On a soft neck
A warm hand wanders
Wherever it wants
