the strange case of the stolen palm

when my mom was visiting we decided
to get some plants to cover my window to the alley
from the summer heat, not has been hot at all this summer
we set a table and got two big palms from Home Depot
i water them every other day and they are my friends
later i got two hanging plants

as last night, there were 2 palms,
this morning, only one is left

last night, i heard noises by my window
when i looked through, i saw a person with my plan
on the back seat of her/his car!!!

i yelled, what the heck??? you are stealing my plant!
they backed up down the alley, dropping all the trash cans there

they stole my plant and i think a bin trash container too

who would steal a plant? it was heavy too
and yes, they only left the little plate behind



tonight i tied the palm left with a cord to the window

my best friend said to me tonight
the strangest things happen to you
and i said, i know... and i barely do nothing
i don't go out much, i am always lazy at home
but trouble seems to know my name.... and address...
and telephone, and he said, yes, and it has your
e-mail address too

concerned

the feeling of today
is
worried, uneasy
at my own home

a strange episode last night
and i was reminded of the fragility of life

just as i was feeling settled again here
with mister/herr/señor Kiyo who is back at home!
and his new friend meine luminous Eidechse...


Kiyo, his mirror, and his new luminous friend Eidechse

and then some episodes
you just don't see them coming
accidents, and other violent matters
occur just like that
unexpectedly...

and to confess, i am afraid
the quintessential German word
die Angst
takes over my dorsal spine
one vertebrae at the time

as related the story of last night
episode's this morning, came to my mind
this scene from
"The Night of the Hunter"



"It's a hard world for little things..."

creepy, but an excellent film
from 1955, don't miss it!
Robert Mitchum as the bad guy...
