Gardening yesterday.
Cutting grass at Semenyih
Worth two blisters
On the palm of my right hand
Gripping too hard
On the short full-metal scythe
An astonishing tool
That needs just a light grip
To fling the blade
For full circles of close cuts
Swishing cleanly
Barely scraping the hard soil
As in badminton
The racquet slicing the cork
Of the flying shuttle ...

54 going on 55
Turned 54 yesterday. But still feel like time is still.and I haven't aged .......
Looking back at the road travelled ....
Have not seen the years pass ....
Just turned a corner .....
Not a sharp turn .....
The start yet .....
Visible still .....
Memories ...
Fragrant ....
Fresh ....
Hmm ....
