In remembrance of my childhood
in Harthausen, Schoenbrueckstrasse 31, Germany
31/13
31 sea turtles
Schoenbrueckstrasse 31
Turtles off Australian coasts
The street of the nice bridge
My childhood pet Kuehlwalda
A tiny green striped sea turtle
With red cheeks in an oval
Water basin with Palm Island
Emerging from memory
In yonder street, number 31
Where all the poems were born
By torch lit reading nights
Sea turtles swimming aloft
In another writing endeavour
Their reference penned on paper
In a collection, number 31
Thus another circle touches
In the year of two thousand 13
When the world spun to 11
Drumglen Drive, two together
Sea turtles remembered, written
As nice bridge across sea, 31 in 13
All Hallows Eve 2013
