I walk that corner afternoon- -there’s nothing there. My nostrils flare- -that olfactory dare can’t even bare its truth. At this hour the power of fume- scares away bloom from filling this concrete room with its glory. But when I turn it- early morning-  story goes full told- -surely I’m not the only one smelling [...]

I never promised sanctuary I never said you could stay either I never asked for sun or rain No I never asked for neither I let you get on with it And did my best to return that favour I never threatened enemies Or asked for saviour Was happy with the lacklustre And satisfied come [...]

I just can’t get close enough Pushing this body that’s host of Lust and blush and crushing Hush into one that’s fussed So lush, blew clean the dust Bust open bolts over  Shuddered jolts and holds mine But with your belly on my spine And never enough time I just can’t get close enough. I [...]

When someone’s troubled you And finally the trouble finds them You often say “Huh, isn’t that funny” You count your karmas, Tally their fuck ups Discuss if the punch Was as hard as they deserve After what they did to you I thought I’d hear of your downfall Your spiral, your slip up And say [...]

When the sun beams through the kitchen window and I’m washing pots that aren’t mine I reminisce times that give me tingles. There’s not a single moment I could define or emotion I could refine but still I shiver in the sublime rays that graze my face as I scrub and rub and lace bubbles [...]

Miles are missing And there’s a big bang For a broken back The log book lacks And I’m mad to cat For that but here I’m sat Pining in the slack Footwell of your black Voyage through the cracks In earth’s trap Well, I’d like to recall Snacks that I snapped In that gob of [...]

I could’ve cried But I didn’t Good riddance Ain’t like it’s forbidden But I keep All this stuff Hidden For reasons I ain’t up for Permitting  But just know By sitting With me through  This episode After it’s bitten Is hitting Heart strings That never Thought they’d See remission  This and that’s Been christened But [...]

I wish I was deep But I see blue skies And podgy clouds And think of the Simpsons I don’t think of the soft pocked Cheeks that rain ran Sleekly down When you allowed Yourself to cry That one time  I wish I was deep But I see anger in red Nothing more complex Just [...]

I’ve found this little fray in my wrist dip  It’s red and soft, splintered at the tip  It tickles the base, at the joint face I rub my hands together and trip It’s getting longer as the days progress I tug softly, as the stitch gets distressed  I pull too hard, it unravels in yards [...]
