Poem – Forged Footing
Strong lights casting attention on polished wood & steel.
Forged footings set for embarkation,
entrant to the commute on Stand-by.
The onset of Thursday set for seven bats-of-an-eye.

Walking on Steel.
Walking on Cast Iron.
Walking on Concrete.
Walking past black shoes.
by Emmy Horstkamp 16/1/2024
Walking black shoes rapping.
Walking black boots, muffled, stifled.
Walking black sneakers reviewing Iron & Steel.

8 - Imply something as morning darkness echo fades. 7 - No longer seeing speculations - glass showing everyday. 6 - Nagging tug at my eyes, eye-sight. 5 - object-orientated, your selfish desire stopped, 4- Narrated life, abandoned detente 3 - Obligation eradicated full-stop 2 - Naïveté tortured. 1 - nave-me 2 - Obedient, racketed, 43 - tete a tete 3- Yakkety-Yak yap at, 5 - Obsessed circle of observable axis, 6- udometer set like film covered…adulterated. 7- Radial distance set at world somewhere far. 8- Something implied. Now work days forever passing for existence. Emmy Horstkamp 02/01/24 SE7
See six lights forward. One small light to the back -dim…Blackness waiting for nothing. Emmy Horstkamp 31/12/2023

8-A voice says "The waiting room is open." 7-A stranger's voice says "I don't remember." 6-A morning's mist coats the platform. 5-"Is it ok? Photo?" 4-Platform - an old concrete waiting space. 3-Painted lines flowing, 2-Pain paused. 1-Pap. 2-"Press it." 3-"Eh, Move on." 4-Walking through the seats. 5-Waking up. Looking out. Looking - 6-And talking. To myself, to you? 7-Inside I feel myself breathing and watching. 8-"Today is not as misty as yesterday, eh?" Emmy Horstkamp - Storeyan Poem Series 23/12/2023
Old lights lit yellow. Platform chilled by winter breeze. Men wait for 13. Emmy Horstkamp
