John Hunt black lead character in Everetts Wounded

                                                         it somehow gravitated to Richardsons historic Wounded Knee

one book or the other on top the other

Crazy  given the dozen other library books stacked on the studio floor at his heel

John said Anything worth loving is bigger than we are anyway.

                                                                    simple language   bigger

who we love

bigger

         than us

    hes enjoyed that kind of love throughout his life

                                                        heartbreak

so many have died

                    tearing through lifetaking for grantedIll seeya next time round  for granted   except

those simple solitary quiet moments together

                                                asif held in honeyooze   amberised in his brain

conversing

cool evening chilling the windowpanes

reflecting the flickeringflames in fireplace

standing to stoke the crumbling wood

adding one more log

the last

before bed

lotsa birthdays

lotsa Geminis

                he got along exceedingly well with them   he was an Aries

lotsa of homemade birthday cakes

                                     lovingly made  hearts and souls worn on the sleeve kind of cakes

caringly beautifullymade

his two favourites

a ginger cake decorated with shredginger jumbo cinnamon gummy bears

a carrot cake  creamcheese frosting scattered walnuts carrot slices cleaved to look like hearts  a whole carrot greens included arched to one side

hed not seen either like that ever before

                                           delicious  artworks

he enjoyed a sliver of each

wasnt keen on cake

                        his birthday cake was a lemon meringue pie

the pie his mother made for him for years were the best

                                                             then

his girlfriend made him “risked” as she said she understood whos pie hers would be held up to

she  crushed  it

a heart and soul pie

                      eating it he admitted as much

 

were probably the only times savouring her successive birthday pies  he conceded the possibility of soul
