[untitled]

an april spring tuesday
I stood in the bedroom
folding laundry on the bed
staring off
out the bedroom window
out over the balcony
the paved pathway
cutting through the still barren trees
the woods
it was the apartment in sweden
I thought about the traded view
the apartment in norway
the balcony there
out over the rooftops of wooden houses
the street of lokkeveien
out to the fjord sea waters
two different scenes
still - all mother nature

New England Memories

non-existent
new england memories
I was born there
but raised in the south
now I live in norway
a small seaside village -
son
...
son reminds me
of those memories
I never knew


[untitled]

lost days
almost two months
gone by
the days
and nights bleed together,
pass by quickly
late nights -
exhausted,
the sound
of snoring
lay awake
with thoughts
no work found
only those dreams
vivid, strange,
haunting
the streets
and sidewalks are wet
with melting snow
slush
dirty

second half of january
and on into february
thinking back, remembering
reminiscent
of four year old memories
winter in a foreign land
the hunt -
search for work
needing a job
hitting the streets,
pounding the pavement
once again
walking cold windy
dirty slush, snowy
ice and wet city streets
all with no luck
so far

on those days
when I take the bus
to work
from son
through hølen
to vestby
the best
travelling musique
through the headphones
for the ears to hear
waylon jennings
or
the soundtrack to almost famous

Autumn (The Same Old Bullshit, Never Ending) Pt.II

autumn
another word to call it -
Fall
the Fall
yes, the Fall
falling apart
everything
when things fall apart
not the fourth album
from the Roots
yet my life
...
the weather
these weeks
gray, overcast and foggy
like my mind
fitting the mood
drowning in thoughts,
stress and anxiety
gone -
far too lost
loss of time
time -
slipping away fast
life wasting away
wasting away the Gods
given creative talents
into nothing

Autumn (The Same Old Bullshit, Never Ending)

the Fall
thirty-one days
four and a half weeks
a month
the days just seem
to bleed together now
time is passing by fast
nothing
is really happening
boring times
it's been
all the same
old routine
stuck
in second gear
thinking, thinking,
and re-thinking
writing, writing,
and re-writing
a month's worth
of thoughts
twenty-seven and a half pages
it all seems
useless,
pointless
stress, worry,
anxiety, and sickness
life -
it feels
like it's all
piling on at once
too much
to take on.
one birthday gone by
and another to come
the ending
of thirties
passing a four year anniversary
ending of a job
weeks of
cold, dreary overcast,
fog, and rain
the early days
of darkness
are coming now
with only
a weekend holiday
to Vilnius
to look forward to.
