Echelon



Echelon


Coveted, surely denied,
Residency within 
Inner sanctum 
Of inimitables

Invalidated,
I took refuge
Unto my circle 
Of inner me ’n myself 

Unlike Venn’s these
Sanctum and circle
Neither intersect
Nor they nestle.
Tiered yes, parallel
They will stand
 Tall and erect

Alone perhaps,
I am afforded
A sense of self

Faberge



Easter it is not 
Egg without precious metal
Is my Faberge

News


News 

Decrepit yellow pages 
Shriveled up daily news 
Bound in historic
Tome of years yore 
I pick up
To give it
Once over by sheet 
Just to see 
Past disintegrate 
In my hands

Rex


Town of Knysana in South Africa is situated at the confluence of Knysana Lagoon, also a river, and Indian Ocean. Tucked away among designers shops and seafood restaurants of the quaint town is a small hotel named Rex. It was so non-descript one could not find its marquee or the entrance from the street. We were surprised to see its interior. 

Here is a negative photograph of its hallway. 

K of Knysana is silent;  'Nice, na!'?
