Finding feeling
My way under
Grounded
Red Double D’s
Facing forward – heading toward
Portobello Road
Where I think I’ll find a vintage coat?
Navigating steps, a labyrinth of
Shops
stalls
markets
and food
Except for the rude
Middle eastern Joseph I turned my back on
Walking first left then right
Following the sunshine – the Bello
Hot and cold, on standby
Off with his head!
/
The woolley cardigan I borrowed
Along with my confusing glasses
The ill-fitting jeans
Crazy, uncomfortable
Wishing I didn’t have big bloody blisters!
Very far from home; my bed covers pulled
The fan on full
Stumbling into the Earl of Lonsdale
Pub for a cider
Hiding in a corner ‘snug’
Made in the seventeen hundreds and
It seems fitting I would have to bend
Dwarves and buxom barmaids
Tourists and stranger’s alike
Peer out from under mead
Sly Lord’s eyed
/
I, need to gather my thoughts
Consider what it would mean to start
over

Sorry, I’ ve just read it your last post. Yes, he knows me as Juanma. Many people know me as El Santi (for Santiago) as well. I was so much busy these last weeks, it was a pitty not to meet you in Girona. Right now I am texting Felix and I am telling him about you and your poems. I am recommending him to read your blog and contact you by this way. It had been lovely to organize a lecture of your poetry at his pizzeria. Sorry again. Maybe in other moment.

Jodine, I’m Félix. Juanma just told me today about you. It’s a pity you couldn’t make it to the place where I live (30km away from Girona)

Wonderful!!. That’ s very nice. Sorry I’ d love to know you but I have to stay in Madrid. But If you can visit Besalú, an ancient and beautiful villa near Girona, I recommend you to have lunch at La roda groga, a small and lovely artisan pizzería where the mánager and the cook is my dear friend Félix, who speaks english so much better than me. He is very friendly and confident with foreign people and he loves recommending places to visit in the Costa Brava, Roses, Cadaqués, The Museum of Dalí. Enjoy the visit and please, come back soon.;-)

Sure I’ d like to know this special place… Everyone have their favourite location to meet someone, love, hate, lose goods, find something lost and to see people walking through the glass of a window…
