Frank Remus

A white blanket of cloud covered most of the sky. Pale blue was restricted to the southern horizon. Fat dumpling clouds hovered in a procession from the north to the southeast. They were like sopping wet sculptural objects. Orb of Sun shone but it was diffuse, making soft shadows. A light wind gusted. The air was cool. Cicadas sang at 10:48, but not with strength. A ball of fluff made its way through. Traffic was mild but flowed continuously. Trees did not stir much but the shimmering tree flickered its leaves. Birds were strangely silent. They were absent from the sky, save for a lone seagull or black lithe bird passing by. A tiny spider appeared on my shirt again, from out of nowhere. She somehow managed to find her way up to the top left corner of my love diary page. She gingerly walked on the ledge, and then she crawled back down again. She prefered the side of the page more than its spacious flat surface. She inspected the many page layers that were close together with great curiosity. She used her invisible thread to pass down and explore a wide gap. She crawled across the love diary page that I wrote on again. She rolled back down it, but she crawled back up it. Another tiny spider had built her web between the rails of the elevator room stairs. I gently poked her with my pen just for fun  and to check she was not just a speck. She scurried toward her hidden corner. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

There were no silver planes in the sky but a helicopter passed by. A crow cawed in the far distance. Black hornet made her wings quiver as she parked in front of her lair. Another black hornet came to escort a brown beetle from the entrance. A third black hornet hovered next to me. She appeared to be carrying something round. It had an orange-red colour. I didn’t think it was part of her body. It gave me the hebejebes. I never saw something like that. Many small insects were airbourn. A crow cawed but too far for me to hear clearly for counting. Orb of Sun came out. It was momentarilty hot. A black hornet landed my knapsack. Her back legs did some martial arts kicks on it, as if she used it for her practice mat. Then she made her way under the green vent. An odd sounding crow cawed a sad tone. Another crow cawed in reply. Cicadas sang at 11:17 but they weren’t too loud. A dog barked and a few birds chirped. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

The sky filled up with slow clouds. I was looking for blue but found no trace of it. Flies sped madly around. A crow cawed twice, then twice and twice again. More crows cawed in a conversation. Cicadas sang as a choir at 11:25. The small flickering light appeared in its usual spot at that moment, as water gushed through a vent and a crow flew overhead. The light sparkled orange red. Another orange-red flash came from another spot in the same tree, it seemed. The main light remained fairly constant before it grew weaker and faded. A small plane droned overhead. I felt current flow through a meridian. I closed my eyes to trace its precise location. Energy that flowed up my left leg appeared to connect with a region near the back of my neck. Unfolding began but there was something elusive about it, as I tried to locate the physical source of a blockage. Orb of Sun reappeared and it got hot. I wrote for my heartthrob while rooted to my roof spot. Cicadas sang a stereophonic choir at 11:42. The sky became laden with cloud and humidity surrounded me. 3 sparrows sped through the sky as a close-knit family unit. Blue opened a crack in the west. Yellow light and I love her. I’m in love with Anna in this.

My secure earth loves her black insects. My government prison loves her dictator’s arrest. My bad weather control loves her sports clothes. My war victim loves her soldiers’ prison. My monster zoo loves her safe cage. My bully capture loves her police handcuffs. My steep road stumble loves her chasm stop sign. My martial arts boxing love her wrestling politics. My fortress guarding loves her defending command. My misunderstood power loves her practical counter-balance. My hindering fate loves her real push. I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “He giveth grace unto the lowly.” Proverbs 3:34. I love Anna Dirksen.
