The shed
|
|
They came in small carton boxes
all these railwaystations, warehouses, sheds
all these little houses and other adornments
for dad's indoor railwayworlds
swiss style, german style, a bit lowland style
complex worlds they were
lots of rails, lots of loops, lots of crossings
joints and dead ends
transport in miniature surroundings
it has sharpened my eye for lots of details
on otherwise dull buildings
for instance this giant shed near the railwaystation
in the place where i live
no money for a new coat of paint
and how wonderful it still looks!

Bitter apple
|
 |
|
Rosegall
|
|
|
You're small... say, as small as a little wasp
You have many enemies, birds and other insects
So you have to provide for a lot of breed
But, catterpillars and little worms, creeping and feeding freely
are endangered when they are looking for fodder
So the clever thing to do, is let your youngsters eat
and hide them at the same time
The gallwasps found a solution for this problem
They force a tree or a bush to form a thick fleshy growth
like a bulb or an apple, a cancer one could call them
In that large fruit, that is fed by the sapstream
you lay your eggs, which are bred by the warmth of the sun
and when the little worms hatch, they can eat their piece
of alien apple or fruit, just till they are adult enough
to continue the cycle of life themselves
In this case, it was a wild rosebush, that was forced to develop its
roseapple -- an eery hairy cluster of cells
that stays on the bush a whole season
Formerly people thought it would fend off
nightcreatures and dreamfiends from young children
if a dried roseapple was posed under their pillow
Other galls were economically very usefull
for instance in the production of high quality writing inks

The trumpet shall sound
|
|
A new season...
Fall
Autumn
Leaves and mushrooms
The fine smell of necessary decay
The perfume of life
In all its aspects
Not always rosy
But sometimes so good
So mouthwatering promising
Like the smell of this one here
Well... it has a red foot,
the book says, it might be toxic,
maybe... maybe it's better to leave it after all?

Beetle
|
|
another beauty
one stage less
but made of nature's concrete
chitin
hard, if it hits you on your head
hard, if it hits you on your arm
hanging out of an automobile
On The Road somewhere in Mexico
Kerouac's bug was a biger one, for sure
but this one is more intriguing
each year, when the first wild roses blossom
this beetle appears
as an egyptian tombjewel
shiny, in bright green, violet and gold
(could imagine one on a ring
a compagnon, on my left hand's finger)
