I am sorry everyone, things are going into a bit of a meltdown for me these past few days. I think I need to take a break from posting and reading for awhile. Get some perspective. Remember how to breathe. Á bientôt.
“… I
am Spartacus”
when mark redford spoke
everyone listened to their own plans
when mark redford offered
everyone wanted something else
when mark redford calculated
everyone assumed they had the answer anyway
when mark redford went quiet
everyone carried on ignoring him
mark redford steps on solid clumps of ground
floating in space crumbling at the edges
exposing the roots
under and within
a shifting greymauvesky
with liquid bands of oliveochre merging
mark redford is lost presumed missing
I am not mark redford
long live Mark Redford
… and if you’d pruriently like to see what it looks like for a teacher to be riddled then dissolved through the sheer and only power of ignorance, have a look at the jaunty little site of http://ghostteachers.wordpress.com/

Big Hugs. I am slightly at a loss for words to say that will be of any use. But know that you are heard and cared about. Bruce and I always miss your poems when you don’t blog, and we will look forward to your return. I hope that there will be much calm quiet breathing and you will find some peace. Come back when you are ready – we’ll still be here x
