Un enclos ailleurs

Dans le jardin dès fleurs embaument

Des gens et les rendent d’un douceur 

Et leurs esprits prennent la sagesse

Des vielles pierres les enclosent 

Calmement et tout passe bien!

Pinot min læremester

En lille hund på en stor rejse 

træskende troskyldigt og lydigt

efter sine ejere - uden 

et eneste forknyt vuf

accept af sin skæbne

med humør og nyt gåpåmod

En lille hund på en stor rejse

proppet i en minimal taske

for at kunne passe i kabinen

under sædet i flyveren

ud gennem told og videre

vente på tog - kørende afsted

En lille hund på en stor rejse

ankomst til et gammelt hus

underlige lugte - alt ændret

biler forbi hoveddørens vindue

middelaldergaders snirkler

ikke det vanlige grønsvær 

En lille hund på en stor rejse

prøver kræfter med alt

bliver lokket i vandet

hevet op på store sten

ofte ind og ligge under

forskellige caféborde

En lille hund på en stor rejse

møder fremmede hunde

snuser og gør hvis de gør

et væsen af en særlig kaliber

en åbenhed som vi alle nok

kunne lære af - tak Pinot

 

Conversation

A conversation I will not have

with my firstborn - ere I know my death

you were born of love

your father could not beat his genes

can you?

(An aside

Even I have a love for alcohol

but I stop ever so often once or twice 

a year for a month and my need is nothing

I drink socially

In our culture and in yours it is the norm

 a rather heavily love for the numbing flood)

you have three children - they see stuff

even though your wife also imbibes

she can hold it - whereas you seem to not

get help son of mine -- now -- not later

I know you have other devils

within your body spirit mind

PTSD is not something to ignore

Of love comes life and sadness 

joy created by endorphins

you cannot not try and get help

please...son of mine... I have a picture

embossed in my mind's eye

you on the changing table 5 months old

scared of a drunk person who loved you

but could not be lived with

are you heading in that direction?

Then when your firstborn had arrived 

you were so enamored by him

....

two more children and then your defenses

became tired worn out - and you are still young

....

been through a hell of a lot - 

but we all have  and we try our best - most of the time

...

Urging you from this side of the grave

it is not too late -- yet...

Get help!

Your answer is in the wind  -warm - violent 

will I ever know?
