Sin keeps me alive

Are you truly penitent?
Well my first name is Penny.
I mean,are you sorry?
I don’t mind
It’s your sins.
Being called Penny is not a sin
Why did you come to Confession?
I was bored.
That is a bad motive
You seem very critical
I am a priest
So was Aaron
Who  was Aaron?
Moses’s brother.
I thought you meant someone  Catholic
Well,my first sin is I am mortal
Do you repent?
Is it my fault?
Well, assume it is and I can absolve you
This is meaningless.
Well, it’s a sort of game as Wittgenstein  might have said
Don’t bring him into it!
Why not?
He said, whereof we cannot speak, we must remain silent.
That is not  quite right
Well,/i shall remain silent
I absolve you from your sins
Leave them alone!
Don’t you want to get rid of them?
Sin is all that keeps me alive!
Well, that  is a new perspective
And so say all of us

We see,in darkness, tongues of fire.

Signs and symbols guide the route.

Love gives the soul her appetite.

Though the night is black and starless,

The inner guide is never careless.

The notes are struck,the music’s played,

Plain melodies are overlaid.

In this chant and benediction,

Healing comes for desolation.

Though the passage way is narrow,

This road is the one to follow.

Struggling through the mud and mire,

We see,in darkness, tongues of fire.

The sacred centre of our life

Is never found without some strife.

Just then, the dark and light combine.

To create a symbol for the mind

Decorations

In this spring weather birds appear

Building nests for offspring dear.

The sun is low and sends strange light

Shadows long form artist’s sight

Blossom bends from trees still bare

Cherry AE Housenans dear.

I look up into the sky

No geese are here for a flyby.

I look down and see the soil

Where the worms in patience Toil

Like the Carers in a Home

Noone writes of them in poems

Noone writes of beetles paths

Not of great spiders hidden worth

The cobwebs glitter with small gems

We have no way to preserve them

So we must seize the moments beads

Decorations our souls need

The far side

Sundays we sent up onto the Moors

Breathing the sweet air one finds up there

Though Winter Hill is bleak we liked the view

I only wish today I might see you.

So far away that no way could I see

The far side of the earth where love roams free

Human Ash

In Bedzin and in Krakow they breathed in
What they denied in conscious thought or word.
The ashes of the Jews, the shades of skin

Penetrating lungs so deep within
The dead unburied mixed, in air secured
In Bedzin and in Krakow, they breathed sin.

The nearby people turned to burial urns.
The human dust by breathing was allured
The ashes of the Jews, the shades of skin.

So Europe took their human ash within.
A graveyard we became unknown, impure.
In Bedzin and in Krakow, more of sin.

And who they thought destroyed lived on in them
Controlled their lungs, their hearts their minds uncured,
The ashes of the Jews, borne on their skin.

Like a mass communion without words
We ate and breathed the Jews, the gays, the bared.
In Bedzin and in Krakow we walked in
The ashes of the lost, the glades of skin

My memories my only souvenir

At home by Katherine

I saw my house uprooted like a tree

Great roots were severed, how I ached to see

And all was tossed without my love and care

Bits of earth fell from the roots. now bare.

Barbaric in its mad intensity

I wept the tears of grief for you, for me.

Our home attacked,destroyed and I lie here.

Putting out the flames with profuse tears

Lamenting for my love who died within

The collapsing of my world now with no sun

The house a symbol of our marriage true

Cannot stand without a me and you

So my vision passed and I am here

My memories are my only souvenir

To complain

Andrew Murray

I want an unjust divorce.

Why?

I need something to. complain about

Just stay married.That should suffice.

I hadn’t thought of that.

You must take life more slowly.

Make better preparations and mull it all over before you do anything.

Thank you, doctor.

What I’d do

If I could walk I’d go outside the house

I’d like to see a cat play with a mouse.

If I could walk I’d like to see more flowers

I’d sit with them for ever and an hour

If I could write, I’d know just what to say

Ditto if I felt the need to pray.

If i I could write well I would write a novel

Otherwise I’ll make a lot of trouble.

The born after pill

The patient had 2 cornflakes for breakfast so we are optimistic she will gain weight.

Mary said she wanted knickers so I lifted up her nightdress She was correct.She has made a complaint.

What about?

This lady won’t judge our bed.

This patient likes rubber mattresses and other forms of rubber.

Can we report it?

She likes toast for curing be her severe introspection.

She had a big lump on her foot which has disappeared since she stopped stalking.

Shall I send a retort in?

She says love cures all ills so wants to go on the pill.I won’t

Her surgery was completed after she suffocated so she will look good in her coffin.

The stitches will be covered by lace frills.

People don’t heal after death in most cases

This man is hungry at all mealtimes.Can we give him any blood?

This diabetic lady is not having twins.She has needles and pins.

I have known her as far as I could.She is unwilling to leave.

Can you give her contraception or a born after pill?

Teeth

In the hospital I could not clean my teeth.

If only they were false.

Think about.They are making work for dentists who then make work for psychiatrists.

Fear of opening your mout

Fear of injections.

Fear of drills

Just Fear

Claustrophobia

Fear of invasion.

Madness

When the grieving ends

We grieve when we have lost a love or friend
Then grieve because the grieving is now less
We feel the death more when the grieving ends

The rawness of the grief,love seems to lend
As we weep and moan, we love caress
We grieve when we have lost our sweetest friends

My body tense, my heart shrinks to defend
The once good home now is a cruel mess
We feel the death more when first grieving ends

My shoulders hunch, my body can’t pretend
But wishes still to weep, his love I miss
We grieve when we have lost a long known friend

The second grief, illusions’ haunting pends
Can I taste his lips when we can”t kiss
We feel the death more when first grieving ends

Oh, that death were something I could kick
Instead of bringing sorrow to me sick
We grieve when we have lost a spouse or friend
Then hate the empty feeling when grief ends.

Funny

Since leaving home she has qualified as a Barbárian.

After leaving the University she has never used her knowledge of Norse Mythology and Bohr’s physics

Except to intimidate men who asked her out for dinnerm

She spent years trying to understand Wittgenstein before realising she would have done better proving he was not understandable in language.

Is that conceivable?

I am in uncertain
