Aside 14 Oct


Today I ask for your forgiveness…

As a child, I snuggled in your fur…I wrapped my arms around your neck.

I played, in awe but fearless.

Pulled dagger teeth, poked  glassy eyes, grasped languid razor claws.

Hard plaster tongue & snout; lifeless, chipped, dusty.

Pelt limp, spreadeagled trimmed with felt, balding, bullet scarred & faded.

Bones broken, missing; Death.

I did not think of  you alive old Tiger Skin Rug.

My WordPress Gravitar toy has arrived…I call my self “Moss Piglet”

2 Jun

My Gravitar is a Tardigrade Water Bear. Tardigradum translates as slow walker. I walk with a limp and great difficulty. Would love to see one under a microscope, teeny tiny. They are everywhere on earth and can survive in space!

Now I have found a toy one, arrived today, so soft & sweet!

To Kintbury for Vintage Marine Radio…

9 Sep

I usually avoid long drives and fast roads, but James needed a run to Kintbury for very special vintage Marine Radio…Murphy B40.
Was a challenge, but successful trip, home just before dark, thunder, lightening & rain.

Rest in Peace Wardell Carter x

My sweetheart and penfriend of 40 years died in an horrific car crash, hit by a Dump Truck, with his twin brother Mozell. Wardell was driving and died at the scene. Mozell died in hospital soon after…

My heart is broken. Good Bye my love…

A Sonnet to Evelyn…3rd November 1985, Cove, Argyll, Scotland, by George McKay.

12 Jun

All sonnets of the past I bid Adieu,

To type today this sonnet just for you:

If  only Marlowe I could emulate,

Or had Lord Byron’s magic metric skill,

Or dip like Burns, the true poetic quill

In Helicon’s pure fountains crystal fill:

Then o’er Parnassus I would escalate

To top the topmost towers with my rhymes

And be the very Shakespeare of our times!

The Universe itself I would unfold

And like the alchemist turn lead to gold:

One single line for Evelyn just one line,

To catch the cosmos just to you from me,

Both Health and Happiness I wish for thee!

And here I sign for Evelyn,

George.
