In remembrance of Gerry Coulter – and Jean Baudrillard; two dear friends and kindred souls departed. See you in eternity.

 

 

 

Where the Difficulty Lies {from the record album: Nick Ruiz, Au.ral (2017)}

 

Broken people

broken lives

broken times

 

We’re a hell of a way,

from where

we come from

 

Rodin’s man

becomes,

Mahonri’s ‘tired man’

 

The slow night

Gives way

To the truth,

always more, more, more

than can be said

 

Noisy people,

waving flags,

every season

crying crowds,

Dying loud

for postal regions

 

The centaurs laugh

Line the queues

 

See you there

on black Friday,

for cherry pie,

and disco

 

A Solar wind

blows

A drowning Earth

A sinking ocean

 

all God’s plan

 

Where the difficulty lies
