Spirits / Characters / Stories ...

The Dance, (1910) https://publicdomainimagelibrary.com/

There are no
straight (life) lines
on anyone’s hands
in these stories ./..

Most of these stories are Charl’s
In one way or another.
She was the most astonishing
time-traveller /story-teller
with a perfect sense of timing
verbatim dialogue recall
and even detailed medical records

clear as a bell,
from decades ago.

I won’t try to emulate that.
But let’s see what we can do ./..

And you’ll have to excuse me, but I write
in my conscious / un / sub / conscious minds
alles deurmekaar, as one does,
once you’ve settled in, in the Boland.

(Translations)
"alles deurmekaar": all mixed up
"Boland": a small part of heaven (with a pinch of poetic licence.)

It’s an odd thing about ghosts / memoires ...
sometimes people / characters / spirits
fuse /split apart / re-fuse (da capo, LOL ...)
of their own ‘accord’
like Charl / Charles / Charlie /s – what a dance to behold!

Respect ./..
There are so many pairings / twins in these stories ./..
They leak ... gloriously ... all over ...

Just Dance!
