Forged Footing / January 18, 2024

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.

Waiting room opens
fifteen minutes to go.
Cold hands, hang on gloves.

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.

Draft: Storeyean Poetry | Something Dark Fades | January 2| 2024 | SE 7| Emmy Horstkamp |

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.

Haiku | December 31 | 2023 | Emmy Horstkamp |

See six  lights forward.
One small light to the back -dim…Blackness waiting for nothing.
  Emmy Horstkamp 31/12/2023
Avoiding puddles,
Voice. Misted words still walking-
path covered with boughs.
  Emmy Horstkamp 31/12/2023 SE7
Rainwater flowing,
under bridge now flooded full.
Tardy water dripping.
  Emmy Horstkamp 31/12/2023 SE7
Morning puddles filled.
Willow branch fallen free.
Swaying green branches.

Poem Storeyean | December 23 |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?"
