Qvod erat demonstrandvm
A Poem by Pauls

“But I am a witch and I take the weather with me and the past three days we had beautiful sunshine and it rained here in B……. and now I am back today it is beautiful sunshine.”

…seared salmon strips and salad
with a lemony vinaigrette, leaned back,
looked up as full and happy and content
as the pink moon rising over the river,

when thoughts of their own volition
flew to you and slid softly into that
warm bed where all wanderings and
wonderings dissolve in an embrace.

Since every sense is encompassed
in the delight of you
I quite literally cease to be
and in my place and in my arms

the softness of your skin
and its scent of orchids,
the slow inevitable rhythm of your breathing,
the smile which changes your eyes
and time’s fascination with your lips

and was only returned to the garden bar of
the riverside restaurant by tinny speakers
crackling into life and playing

“Everywhere you go,
You always take the weather,
Everywhere you go
You always take the weather

With you…

This piece has been read literally hundreds of times over the last year or so, here and in the Cafe. One comment. This piece has been podcast.

Just wanted to drop a little note to let you know I am starting here (this is the very first post, correct?) and plan on reading every word up to the present.

With a little gin and pineapple juice in hand, of course.

Cheers!

Hopefully the Morrison-Huxley Effect will be working. I shall destabilize the Takeshi Kitano Nexus in preparation. Bon Voyage,

If I had to choose a top ten … oh, this would be in the top three. The top three would be topsy-turvey each day to the next as I could open the cupboard door and take a different one down to choose my mood for the humdrum ahead – but this is perhaps the lightest, innermost wonderment that I have ever seen you write, You know.

I must say this is wonderful. The weather here is gorgeous… and there? I must read this again and again. My favourite by far (so far)
