(2015)
Silence but for the ebb and flow of echos in a stilling mind reaching for a pause
Hurried by the wind, my mind races across impassible reaches to where you too are watching in shared solitude There is no torture
Damn and blast and house arrest Before the lungs fail Ring-a-ring-a-roses No playing kids Blind-eye playground test
All this talk, this chatter, this… back scratching, arse scratching v… bitching, territory marking, point… people boring, tit for tat, straig… out of touch, poker faced
The first gasp of potent air taken in, shocks and awes innocence.

We lay on the beach saw, from shifting sand, a friendly fight, a dolphin show, a picture of us,
Oh! It’s late again caught the last train woke up to the fields to walk with my night friends I’ll teach the moon to eclipse
