caught

in sunlight

the other

hidden

in her lap

in the shade

strokes a

black cat.

A good time had by one and all...On The Road To Abbotsbury...Thought of that other B.H. - On The Road To Morrocco. Ha, ha, ha... OH! - at the beginning of my trip, i directed 2 cyclists in Weymouth to the Chickerell Road...they were going to Lyme Regis!...i pass them on bus, and they return my wave, from upstairs back-of-bus... well along the Chickerell Road.

Waiting for bus back to Weymouth, from Abbotsbury bus stop, i suddenly realise, that the 2 girls having refreshments at The Swan pub, are same 2 cyclists. i cross the road to chat, and they say they are content  to have made such good time. No big climb out of Abbotsbury towards West Bay for them however...but along the beach to West Bexington, after Sub-tropical Gardens...

i wished i were going with them...

WHILE WATCHING "NORWEGIAN WOOD" ON TV.

i think of

the little notebook

made for me

with the black-

cloth binding

& the japanese

patterned-paper

with cherry-blossoms 

& an outline

of Mt. Fuji

& it's raining.

 

i am watching a

japanese film

dreaming in &

out of it

as i think of

the little notebook

in this quiet house

this evening

but for a girl

who sings

that Beatles song.

 

& i will write the

words of this poem

in that book

for it is

to be useful &

practical &

 "not a precious thing" -

but it is to me

it is to me

& it is snowing

& it is snowing...

WHEN i WOKE-UP THIS MORNING...



Early to bed etcetera, really does work best for me. Up at  3 a.m. - with bread to make - but really too early. 4 a.m. - on phone, talking to elder brother in Melbourne, while i  eat strawberries. 5a.m. - out around Goldcroft with  camera - still very dark. Wanted mist and fog, for photos  of Radipole Lake, but shot what was. Up and down  on mountain-bike. At 6 a.m. - on here, blogging.... 6.24  a.m. - about to "publish"....etcetera, etcetera....yoga,  zazen, bread, farmer's market...infinite choice...never a  dull moment ?...Well! - sometimes!Think of song by THE KILLERS. For now - andiamo, a bientot, see ya later...X
