Tasty safety
and a Samaritan
shoulder and neck or bottom…
is asleep in a ravishing field,
deep still on the naked grass,
and you wish to wake him up,
keep him from possible danger,
sunstroke, beast, thunderstorm,
what part of his unflawed skin
would you touch so carefully,
that he won’t be scared or angry
but will thank you with a sip of his coffee?
With a piece of cake and a part of his plaid or more?About the Author
During tough or joyous times, the process of writing feeds his mind and soul.Sharp margins of ‘crazy and normal’, with rare forms of empathy, are Arno’s favorite themes, alongside frankness, courage, confidence, while freedom is never taken for granted. All his life as a very human being and writer, he’s been called ‘different’. As a good thing?
