30th November 2009

Pretty pink girls, till
I stand up and smell brown stain,
Sticky mess on knee.

29th November 2009

Through curtain of rain,
Inside a bubble of glass,
Wet world warps and melts.

28th November 2009

Salvaging garden;
Attempt to harness nature
With constructive purge.

27th November 2009

Final leaf harvest,
Pressed into the ground to mulch,
Nude trees left exposed.

26th November 2009

Feeding our spirits
With turkey and pumpkin pie,
Yogini gives thanks.

25th November 2009

Dancing to weather,
"Deep wind invasion" fills lungs,
Pulse springs in sunshine.

24th November 2009

Life in constant flux,
Wind impatient for movement,
New directions pull.

23rd November 2009

London's charms refreshed,
Diversity on the street
In face and façade.

22nd November 2009

Peeling then grating,
Returned to my ritual
Of porridge making.

21st November 2009

Two weeks of lost sleep,
Takes every chance it can,
Floating in limbo.

20th November 2009

Nose lies in waiting,
Ready for covert missions
Of diplomacy.

19th November 2009

We have become friends,
Smile knitted onto my face,
Summer in winter.

18th November 2009

Fading artists shine,
Mischievous cupid at work
Makes us fall in love.

17th November 2009

In the samovar,
Faces bent into wide smiles,
Loving reflections.

16th November 2009

As though my strings cut,
Chest tight in a straight jacket,
Limbs failing to dance.

15th November 2009

Wounded history,
A country of survivors,
Commemorated.

14th November 2009

We meet unknown clown,
Kidnap her for group hugging,
Member of the club.

13th November 2009

Fighting for my health,
Ample slav beats me with leaves
In heat of steam room.

12th November 2009

From liminal place,
Hands clasped firm in gratitude,
Giving all they have.

11th November 2009

Pushing bounderies,
Taking chance to be naughty
Risks getting it wrong.

10th November 2009

Earth turned upside down,
Antoschka turns on axis,
Whole world in her hand.

9th November 2009

Pre first gig tension,
Journey into the unknown
In Moscow's suburbs.

8th November 2009

New aspirations,
Freedom to consume like west
Invites sweet bad taste.

7th November 2009

Time to say goodbye,
Wearing "More fur than the dogs",
Neighbours stop to stare.

6th November 2009

Leaves jolted by paws,
Jump up to dance as dogs play,
Swishing when tails fly.

5th November 2009

Grabbing props, toys, socks,
Bouncing in random pattern,
Gathering colours.

4th November 2009

Appreciating
Creative vandalism,
Happy face lights up.

3rd November 2009

Potty jokes delight,
We laugh at body's habits,
Mum blows a loud fart.

2nd November 2009

Wandering Marshian,
Eyes fixed on the infinite,
Protector of space.

1st November 2009

Relishing dhosas,
Debriefing on our blue child,
Planning for Russia.
