The Wind is Blowing (and other works) Wolfgang Günther (Germany)/Cheryl Penn (South Africa)


FOUR WORD/Foreword

1
compiliation of alternating involvements of 2
on topics at random along a given nonobligatory line,
interweaving space & time & going on


2
presentation & arguments -  working
proto, iso, anti, meta, cata, para & trans

3
culture from below & above -
pizza-prose ,
made from found rests, intended for the moment,
&  with left-overs for the take-away
accenting the potentially weird real 
& attending  the potentially real weird 

4
about things which should have happened or told before
intrinsically true, needed & wanted
extrinsically cool, needed & wanted
only now we know...

The Wind is Blowing

the wind is blowing
the season
IS changing
I hope the world
is ready.


Where warm waters wake.
El Niño &
The European Day of 
Common Swimming in Common Rivers.
Dramas en tramos.


Winds of change shake the nations
to bring them to battle
A Heap of Sheaves
In a Valley
For Threshing.


Uncle Basarab enters,
reading -
deserts (not securities) dare to say: 

Endless hunger
is likely to get armed...

1310.
House Basarab
Katabatic Winds
Render all
Catatonic.

Jes, katabatics
help to inflate yourself,
when time is right
& also the ground
you´re standing on.

Am I standing on ground?
It feels like
Butter slice
Quick sand
Miry clay
All thrones topple.

It´s not easy
to play perfect footsie
on the beach.
Love it, but be ready
to adjourn another chaos.

Chaos knows
no time
no wait
no soft breeze -
Subterfuge Slink
Stratagem Machination.

In the realm of the birds
doves are waiting for democracy.
There is a world
where popular government 
is waiting for man...

Suggestion: Don’t walk
Under a ladder
Holding
Full doves who
practice
Bladder Democracy.


Season of Wondering

Season of wondering
under almond trees.
Herbicides ruin my feet,
transgenes make me shiver.
Who wants to be ready?

Ready she stands,
back bared
shoulders stooped,
embracing mortality's
season of wondering.

Standing, walking, flying -
they are our bothers.
The robots think & feel,
protected by & observing
The Conventions of Geneva.

Conventions:
Talk Sign
Talk Sign
Talk Sign
Talk
Sign
Nothing

The quince tree already gave
shelter to the sparrow,
when the grass below said:
I declare myself
now opened!

to heartbreak
bows and arrows
killing cock robins,
fish catching blood
in little dishes
Beetle-made shrouds.


believe
many won't
nicely postponed excuses
it is hard to
trust

TRUST?
Is that some sort of
Indaba?

I called her
sunshine
she turned around
dropping the pint of beer
& smiled at her future.


She lingers in a garden
of setting suns
mortality
beckons.

one may thank
the stars
that even now & here
some rules are not
a matter of opinion.

the gate is always open
where roses bloom
and
thorns
pierce.

Mephisto
cathedral of escalators
let in a million
courting doves
it's not magic.

except the Katabatic wind
stole through
a crack in the
words - that’s magic,
Not Faust.

I was
exceptionally mistaken
endurance sports
are not only
for hamsters.


round and round
and round and round the turn of endurance stops for no one I cant even take
a breath

can you?

modern
being so
intelligence of empathy
will surely not render
survival.

depends on the
empathy recipient
all giants surrender
eventually.
Eventually.
Inevitably.

my caretaker
labors.

as to
whether to me
i'm not certain
as far as
to be up to you.

up to me?
down here
at the bottom of
the world
The Third World
Alien Dimension.

it's apity
that i wish
i could stay
longer, but
since i'm welcome any time...

in the
future recycle your
gods and then recommend
one. 

to make an idol:
cut a tree cook your meat
warm your hands make your chair shape the rest bow the knee to fallaciloquence,

why don't you
have a seat
the highly praised
soup-&-salad-combo
will soon be with you.

why, thank you sir
wrong tongs too?
long combo short twang
the salad just wrang.

yes here
we go again
he had lunch
she did
the talking.

the insipid [sound]of

no bounds.
maddening choir.

lost deep in
the Rubicon of

older kin.

my budgie is
not interested
in my guinea-pig
maybe he got that
from his mother. 36

the zebra ignored
the lion
to his detriment.
the guinea-pig was actually
unlucky - Budgie became a cat [he got that from his mother].

reading something
into the phrase
"Down-under
she lacked
for notthing..."


but debate  about
new Jimmy Choo
put paid to
that.


Something.

finally
awakening awareness
of hangouts
with chillies
on the loop.

Funny.
I made chilli basil chocolate hangouts
Today.
No Loops.

mother of mine
I think I
could have
some setting lotion
& a new diaper.

Mr Sook said
Do you want a new mother?
Tell me when you get this Abby
If I’m scaring you
that’s good.

wondering
we are
all the time
as if we didn't have
two hands.

leave him
he is just a boy
I am making bones
no glamour
too bad
when you least expect it
we’ll be there.

culture
as the revenge
of man
on the sun
love it.

Revenge?
I’ll take a bet
on the sun -
one degree
all life withers.


Season of Wondering
Part 3

mistreated
straw will
never save lives.
2 brothers drowned,
unnoticed ill-fated.
