 in disguises

next picture-poem http://se.unisa.edu.au/art/picturepoetry/test.html(photo above) Me in tent, Robert Adsit (1943-1993) in chair - neighbour standing. Clifton Park New York about 1955. This area (our backyard) is now an ugly apartment compex - with the Northway freeway running Albany to Canada in the back. Last week I was on one of my long three-hour walks through the Adelaide suburbs (Aberfoyle Park area) and I came across a pine grove that was identical to this one in Clifton Park. I sat there for quite some time - Memories really are a parallel universe where we can go via worm holes and strings of consciousness. I even spoke with my brother Robert and the others too -

Everyone was there

my mum who put me up for adoption then died from cancer

my mum who raised me then died from old age

my brother who still is my favourite human who died of AIDS

my girl friend who killed herself in 1987

my girl friend who killed herself in 1972

my master teacher who died of a brain tumour

my master teacher who killed herself

my dog (puppy) who chased another dog whilst in heat never to return

We shared a glass of liquid light

talked about the old days

and how strange it was

that I was still alive

when the plan had always been

that I would go first

and meet all of them

after I had set the table

for this our final meal together. 8-20-1994 Victor Harbor South Australia

though my dad (94 this year) is still doing fine up there in Clifton Park, actually but a boomarang's toss from the woods in the photo above. Just thought I would share all this with you NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - http://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today.
