neu.

can I tell you something?

the ears cannot trust the mind.

and the mind lives on forever.

but your heart laughs with me.

a story we shared when times were tough.

about a neighbor boy who persevered.

I learned later he died on the highway.

and his parents split up.

a windy cold january day.

and the siren blaring is the only sound ever.

the ruins and the logs on the fire.

send smoke far into the winter sky.

but a while later.

a still hungry boy walks into the woods.

his gate purposeful but with no intentions.

so sleeping neighbors only stir as he passes.

sven.

welcome.
