I find it on the table

A dirty lid, a skeleton

a life caught in a

dark place, lost.

Long past decay,

a perfect specimen

a perfect gift for

a girl, with artist

for a middle name.

Marla, arches her back,

stretching her long limbs,

drapping her body over me,

she sings softly in my

ear, her whiskers tickle my chin ,

as she graces me

with her devine attention.

In the distance the rock  rests, against sky

A landscape dressed in shades of earth,

we wander closer , to gaze through the time

worn arch,  a window into  a dreamy sky.

Waiting always for the su […]

My  eyelids crave closure,

my brain is engulfed in fog,

fingers slipping on keys,

deleting a line or two  my

body fuzzy, begging for rest,

But l can hold a little longer

Its only an hour or t […]

The lamp flicker’s in the distance, even though there is not a breath of wind,

is it you, have you finally returned from war, my feet quicken like my heart,

a hunger, long hidden rising in my throat, as l […]

I pull the net up, heave after heave, l am a small clog in the machine, one of many,  with an empty belly, working for a meal.
We land the fish , the boats full, many hands maning  the oars take us to shore, t […]

We arrive,tired, but excited, acres of green and a long driveway

are all that separate us from a few quiet days.

Bright lights,night tennis none of us know the rules.

We laugh and run, chasing […]

In the corner collecting earth

your lonely frame now rests,

you no longer shine or sit,

in the centre of my desk

or place ink upon a page,

no one will read the stories

we never worked to […]

I hear you

as you travel inside me.

Our scent lingers on my skin,

infusing me with memories.

My tongue washes you,

gentle strokes,

all at once hungry and full,

I feel quiet in your […]

Boarding.

The light flashes, seatbelt, seatbelt, seatbelt.

Arms and legs, face mask, head down.

Moving, wheels on tar, faster, faster, faster.

Rising – Rising – Up.

Ears screaming, pressure, […]

One step then another, another on and on.

We start under stars, Venus bright above us,

a trickle of light silhouetting the trees on the hill.

Lights float in darkness, the ocean singing invades

our […]

I climbed the heart of the world

Every rocky step, clinging to

its worn surface, Above the red

desert, the mountains and into

the tower, where the soul is,

I become real here, a god,

watching […]

I stretch my spirit into blue, catching the breeze,

l let my self fall and drift, with its breath. There are

some moments we move as one the flow, the dip,

the trust, in fine bone and feather, tracing […]

I wander the stars, in a boat made of

sky, following dreams in a lullaby.

I carry the moon,the sun and earth

in my coat pockets, trinkets of mirth.

They grumble and moan and dance in

the s […]

Dawn, scans the treeline,  searching

for dusk, the heat of noon hides him

behind a mask of light. The bottle in

Dawn’s  grip contains a magic porridge,

which once inside Dusks belly ca […]

I have become a translation,

a lost language,  spoken in the

vast  space between , a new

version of myself, stalking the

corridors of education, of the

past,  fierce and curvaceous,

almost se […]
