A trip of two hours
Pulls me out of city doldrums
The sleepy village
Doused with a deadly mix
Of diesel and polluted air.
The daily trot of a poor man’s
Living exchanged with the scent
Of roses and lavender –
Paradise found.
But one’s always challenged:
Ergo bike
Inference electric therapy
Pool exercises
Infrared room
Steam room
Foot pendulum exercises
One on one physio with
Young Kerstin ‘s a highlight
Then back for the early lunch
Community
When the stomach grumbles.
Careful-wise Waltraud
Cat-like Brigitta
Lecturing Mona
Happy-go-lucky Margareta.
Resting time
But not on the adjustable bed.
Swimming in the huge
Calcium saturated pool.
Another day another round
At night’s TV Arte finishes
Worthwhile movies
Much too late.
