Poets - Tour Diaries - Part 8
Mother’s Arms
On a small hill, by the wayside, a lone, shapely windmill stands regally, looking into the past. It is one of the old ones. Perhaps centuries old. Clad in its stylish black it has weathered the que sera, sera of history. And still its wings tackle the wind, the turning of tides and the rotation of the planet and stars above. From her fore, they reach out like a hungry shield to show us it is wisdom that protects us. Around it, a congregation of chestnuts and oak trees stand stoically, cast in bronze, as is appropriate to the season and rowan trees with their branches heavy with berries. They all seem to await their matron’s next tale of woe. Those are their favourites, and her’s as well, for there is always something to be gleaned from the moral of the story. Far across a field of sustenance’s ideas, her distant windmill cousins, her modern day disciples, are dancing with the winds. Already hard at work. Rotating giants. Ever mesmerising, like a massive reload animation. -Marko Ps.
Thank you Amsterdam! We had a blast! Cologne, here we come!
