24.08.2018 / Blog 012 | for Lito

              Before work
              I look out the window
              heavy rain                                                      BLOG 012
              after a while
              only a few puddles are left
              the leaves of the plum trees
              are soaking wet
              I put on the raincoat
              later a strong shower
              two, three minutes long
              today is Friday
              should it rain
              I forget that I live on a small island
              for suddenly a strong wind comes from the sea
              entangles itself in the trees,
              sees off the grey weather front
              and blows the dampness from the plantation
              blue sky
              now Lito smiles as well
              my Portuguese colleague
              who grew up by the sea
              where the sun shines more often
              and the waves surely are as tall as buildings
              Lito is a surfer

              After work
              closing time beer
              we sit together for a short while
              Kezzie and Josh from England
              are going to the supermarket tomorrow
              to the mainland
              we write a list
              4 x milk and gouda
              I’m happy
              that they thought of me
