Today

Heat
The sun is baking me
Hot
Girl on my left

Water
Swimming for hours
Cold
Drinks for two

Affection

it's too late ..

the government gets the people
it deserves
you preach hate
guess you're stuck with the haters ..

The struggle of being a writer

Confusion
"What next?"
Thoughts
"What should I say?"

Fear
"I need something!"
Defeat
"I have nothing."

The struggle of being a writer

and each at their own insistence ..

I quite like the calm appraisal
that historians bring to the past
supplying a little distance
to what is actually quite vast ..

Animal Apocalypse

I dreamt I was a koala during the animal apocalypse.
The chameleons and Iguanas were zombies.
You never saw them coming.

Dream

Prior to his dream he falls
Tumbling coward scream
Cryptic stream he gives the call
Looking forward keen
Outward steam a sudden stall
Gentle orchard sheen
Handsome scene holds heavy hall
Back to morbid green

1984 Blues

Those 1984 blues
do get pretty bad
you know they don't
come and go they
always stay with you
everyday...every night
anything every thing
you do in your life
those 1984 blues
are always there
they never go away

there's someone coming up the stairs ..

never try making love with your wife
in a second hand bookshop
the floorboards creak
but it's too late to stop ..

Do You Wonder

Let me ask you
did you ever see
a Beauty Queen
go Psycho...
some say they
do you know
now and then
the same as you
or I do when we
lose our shit

our love in creases ..

it was so cold
we'd go to bed in our clothes
and make love
beneath the folds ..

Osmosis

No direction
seems to summon me
to follow the whim

I keep letting
the fragments pass
not sharp enough
to clutch on
today

I try not to panic
or I will surely lose them.
