Please, dear baron, leave these trees!

 Tribute to the Italian writer Italo Calvino and his book The baron in the trees.

  Nothing lasts forever, there is a law of the land.
  Its all tend to forget, but remembering to bite the elbows.
  Do not have time to lose, its only then did not catch up.
  Hurry and you do not fall behind until a heart is beating, you also have time to.
  Nothing anywhere else is not so easy to give, on the ground is far from paradise

Made only one correction after re-reading the text:

changed one of god’s profiles into one of god’s many profiles, not essential.

ART from SAHA KHOSRAVI, Iran, provoked to another automatic writing text:

TEARS

around a drawing of Saha Khosravi

In a dream I saw a young artist

from Iran with a twisted body

against a tree in a traumatic forest.

Both were crying tears of resin brown

without any obvious reason, so I thought.

Was the tree using the body of the girl as go-between

or was the Persian femail in a process of profound fusion with the tree?,

those were my speculative metaphysical questions of which I felt quite proud.

IDIOT, you are an idiot, flowers not that gently whispered,

or are you a mollah ruling in Teheran perhaps?

You are not able to see that dead bird at your own feet

who fell to nothingness from its now empty nest in the tree.

Both are mourning in common empathy

while you choose to imitate one of god’s profiles,

oh you pathetic little snob!

I looked to the sky hoping on some rain

but none came to my rescue.

Hmm.  I guess images get in our dreams much the way background conversation pushes our writing in a direction. Thank you Guido.

To please Rebecca and Theresa, some photos that triggered my automatic day dream text about the steam machine to evaporate ancient gods and goddesses

Shots from inside the Grelha restaurant through the window to the outside view of the neighborhood; and reverse view shot on the street facing the Grelha.

Collage A4 around poetic quote by Fernando Pessoa.

Received from Guido earlier in the week... I tidied it away to make room for my brother visiting from America and couldn't find it for a few days! SHAME. Automatic writing that is full of images. Thank you Guido. The most arresting for me is the seven chimneys sending light - white and black.
