Its the first week of the spring, yes I could smell some mild orchid and damp soil. Dews that encumber leaves are fast drying up so on the grasses and from bushes. The warmth and the heat under the sun was unusually good, I’ve been under the same sun my entire life but never felt this way. There is something different about this spring. May be its the first spring after my cold winters, inside and out. Something is reborn, but season looks good and I'll keep this scribbling closer to that. If you feel the same about this spring probably we are in the same place, passed each other a few hundred times, down the alley near La Terrace, garden side of Cinquintannire or even at the jubel park..somewhere or nowhere..when surrounding is full and filled, I will be almost invisible and may be you were invisible as well. Good to feel non-existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dads with sons and daughters, teaching cycle or football a common sight with the spring so is people running around with lesser clothes..we know what it is to get wrapped up under heavy fleece and jackets. I see fewer clouds in the skies, the haze is there though. A royal orange fabricating the edge of the inverted azure bowl, the aura is breath taking..leaves me at loss of words and alone on my sixth floor balcony facing the garden..some color, some smell and some sight….me, fathomable phantom ..am sharing this with my ubiquitous self.. slip of thoughts amid all this in search of something..and back to the gripping reality..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I run down to the park carrying some stuff along..spread out garden under pale blue sky with ash streak haze scattered ..I stretch my self on the mat, am pampered yes and i deserve to be..am not answerable to anybdy..I feel the satin blades beneath and the smell of orchids and tulips..head phones whisper Johann Sebastian's A minor (Triple Concerto), a 1730 creation, but its jus so mild enough to let chirping and noises to reach my ears. I am an ardent newtonian..I lay under the peach tree (no fruits yet), imagining it would sprout, bloom and ripen and fall closer to my head..no am not lazy..its respecting nature against abysmal time. Hands search for something in my bag and feels the fullness of the apple..bought that noon..so tasty ..Yes sinful indeed. Something far and above catches my eyes, straining, I raise my sights further into the hollow skies..streaks of gray lines splitting up the skies..clouds of dust like scars appear..hydrocarbon fuel and soot with oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxides..or probably kerosene based fuel types like Jet-A1..whatever it was, it holds the same science of looking good and bad for everything else..in no time my skies weren’t one..they were two.. book beside with marker.. pages flutter with untamed breeze.."Treatise of great minds" by Leonardo da vinci..borrowed paper back, unread yet. The reality is too good to be true, so colorful as in caravaggio's works, realism or naturalism that can be felt by deceived eyes.

type='text'>Watchmaker dream</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4 align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;"&gt;10 pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h6 align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;"&gt;Present..Skies shed another skin. Day rests. Darkness fills everywhere..dark alone prevails. Vast and hollow..eternal.."the dark". Dizzy head and aching temples long for it..day has been a carousel ride..so has been life. I need to sleep tonight. Permanently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With weary eyes I seek and fall on the half made bed..sinfully inviting..like your lips..in the willing cushion that takes me in, I surrender. For a moment before I dissolute into feeling nothing, I stare around..dark..retina filled with it and nothing else..long tresses that curtains my crestfallen face when am on your lap that is black...bla..now bleak..vision fades to a thin line in between the lids as my eyes seek solace under a skinny layer.......peace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...12 pm, Oberstrasse, busy as usual. Wet cobblestones echoing footsteps of passers by. Wind caress my neck..chill it is..a look right towards the crossing. School of Cadillac, Merz and Alfa Romeos. Engines still hustling and bustling. Rrrrrrrrm Rrrrrrrrm. Unsettling noises..Herrman Tags Zeitung, the news mart, hustles. Wind taking turns with the sheets of paper..sound of dry papers, distinctly heard from where I stand or may be, I hear them..Apotheek on my left and the Ruhe Cafe show little life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stare, stare at my reflection across the road at Uhrmans, the watch shop, 160 years old. Steiger, who looks too old for his age, from inside the shop waves. I walk towards the array of watches on the display. The Swiss made and few other vintages. The Audemars, Breitling, Bulgari, Rolex, Patek Philippe and so on.. Steiger, knows them all by their make history. I derive a sense of feeling that I am standing in the heart of Clockmakers Company, in UK. Oldest horological museum in the world. The shop smells old.Rusty. Stale smell of leather and sounds of thousand hands ticking. Some symmetrical.some synchronized. some frozen..like mine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His wrinkles on the forehead and round reading glasses speaks alot about his age...stripe pressed cotton waist and double tweed coat. Cream shirt and bow. 75-year-old horologist, meticulous from his mere appearance. Steiger. “Kann Ich Du Helfen”..rusty voice of Steiger breaks my cold stares from the shelf. Even before he finishes, I place my steel base leather strapped analog on the desk. Hands frozen..at 10 am. Victorinox, a Swiss made, white base &amp; black dial. Frozen. Time frozen. Hands held tight. They don move anymore, its arrested, but not hand cuffed. No ticks. I continue staring at the shelf, while Steiger meddles with my watch under a watchcase wrench.... &lt;p align="justify"&gt;10 am on my watch, hands ticking as I jog towards the station. I need to catch the train. Another day. Missing a just zipped past rover. Am in hurry. So is everybody. Life no less ordinary..everywhere..shops, stalls, bus stops, cab stands, coffee shops jus everywhere. 10.12, it says, Victorinox. Time flies in the morning..does it rest later in the day..never.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staring at the watch I miss another pole. Signpost reads ‘Oberstrasse’. The road I pass by everyday. Adjusting tie and jacket that has come off my shoulder to the quick morning sprint. I wait for the tram. Time doesn’t. Am Waiting.., those few minutes looks eternal. Am restless. Gazing and staring at familiar faces, armpit held newspapers, Starbucks cups and croissants. Far beyond behind the sweeper, it catches my eyes. The antique shop, with hand crafted wooden clock piece. Hung outside and above the entrance. The shop is closed. Name board has come off the rails and covers the clock, partially. Reads ‘Uhrmans’. Corrosive stains on the glass window &amp;amp; graffiti. Nothing is visible inside. Hmmm yes, read about this street, one of the towns oldest. Read it few days back on the Leuten Zeitung. Some place it must have been years back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some sense of belonging, may be am a regular wanderer in the morning. I claim nativity for those few moments I pass by.. Hmm but we don’t have time to repair watches these days. But some things are stuck to your skin and can be shredded. No not necessarily those inches deep. Hmmm some satisfaction. Some pride of being born in a different time. Superbia may be. Tram hasn't come yet. Uhrman board...rattatat tat..on the walls..hmmmm. What a pleasant morning breeze, I finger my hair from the forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brought it down before my eyes to read time... its not ticking.. 10.12 still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nail hitting thought about the dream I had last night..Hands frozen..this time mine..time flies. Am lost in world that separates real and surreal…….still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..Rattatat tat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10432909-112050547848524321?l=ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com/feeds/112050547848524321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10432909&amp;postID=112050547848524321' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10432909/posts/default/112050547848524321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10432909/posts/default/112050547848524321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com/2005/07/watchmaker-dream.html' title='Watchmaker dream'/><author><name>Φ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10618888860350185573</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jiQax5d2e0A/SsE0-P7R75I/AAAAAAAAABA/uXTxdNbzl_k/S220/Sweden+096.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432909.post-111962773116756792</id><published>2005-06-24T17:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-06-24T17:45:45.153+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Saturnine</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;anguine little face&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oval and young&lt;br /&gt;That's chiseled&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;To the depths&lt;br /&gt;Of a cursed soul&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Time slips past&lt;br /&gt;And will continue&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;In whose treacherous spell&lt;br /&gt;Genesis be old&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Kingdoms and men be&lt;br /&gt;Moss and dust&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;But what shalt remain&lt;br /&gt;Point back in time&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;To memoirs, grass green&lt;br /&gt;That face amongst&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Many masks unveiled&lt;br /&gt;Now, thought&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Only a thought&lt;br /&gt;To this grim faced&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;aturnine..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10432909-111962773116756792?l=ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com/feeds/111962773116756792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10432909&amp;postID=111962773116756792' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10432909/posts/default/111962773116756792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10432909/posts/default/111962773116756792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ichthys-firstfish.blogspot.com/2005/06/saturnine.html' title='Saturnine'/><author><name>Φ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10618888860350185573</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jiQax5d2e0A/SsE0-P7R75I/AAAAAAAAABA/uXTxdNbzl_k/S220/Sweden+096.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432909.post-111928129319235527</id><published>2005-06-20T17:23:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-06-20T17:28:13.193+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Fullstop</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;Juxtaposing contrapposto&lt;br /&gt;
