'Yeah, but we love each other....
But it doesn't mean we have to have a 'relationship'.
I'd much rather read your writing
Than do your washing up.'

Sidenote

"Make sense," Fielding said,
"Tell the real story of your life. You alone
Can tell the truth!"
"I don't want to make any sense," I replied.

I'm too ugly to go out into the world.
I'm a hideous monster.

Dry Dock

it’s ten o’clock, time

to leave

pack

up

ship

out
 

sail

only

now

            the motor’s broken.

Little Bird

'I'm in love' she spat, pounding
My chest with her tiny fists
That felt like birds fluttering
                        Against
My ribcage.

I thought my ribs caged a love
                                                For her.

But there between my arms
And cold stare, I knew that I could
Crush her.

Circe

I Stand Alone,
Zoomorphic At Dawn

Hold Tight

Grey ash rises

And I feel my skin and bones

Changing

I am decaying

Watch

The cinders sit like oil

On the water

And I fall

Like a penny

Down into the depths

No hope and lost rope

I leave you content

Below the waves

For you have already touched the sky

My hand

Your chest

An accidental death

As Distance moves Closer, Remember, Never lasts Forever.
