UntuitionHard to follow
The waves
Hide your face in the dark Here nobody has a mouth Streets are echoes Of the past We play our part We are still making our way Through the months Through the days Through the myths and Through discovery Burning through the Greek alphabet
Curtains
I float away through broken time Alongside a ray of light Next is pain And the ribbon’s at the centre We are nearly at the end I heard your voice But can’t see your face, A little death from too much light As I came back, it’s red shifted Lights off Curtain driver justified I […]
Spills
I am an ossuary For the skulls and bones Who’ve seen my insides raw I can envelop and expand To hold imprints of loved ones past For unloved familiar faces For warm strangers It is now baggage of my own Imprints of film and life That I feel I’ve lived But now these imprints cause […]
Madeleine
They burst apart when we’re asleep These unexamined inconsistencies Memories, a fibrous mass Weigh something on a pair of scales Energy When you ask, you change The order of things and The things in the order Elegy Write it down and spurn Contrarian words I would have said On the street two ships of Thesius […]
Oberon
You are holly topiary A king of the fairies A singing canary This weird castle suits you You ain’t a crown like that But those stairs leading up Surely do suit your cats Rapunzel stuck in the fire escape Goldilocks without a fussy taste I wish I knew time, Alas I only have haste He’s […]
Neuron Star
Now here’s an eclipse As the blood slowly drains Away from my eyes and down from my heart A neuron breached its way too far With gravity of magnetars It is not a lapse of time. It is not a prayer for the sun. Fuck St Valentine and everything he’s never done.
Traces
I live with my past on the surface We turn inside out and outside in again It’s not a thing I haven’t seen before I came, I heard and saw you More bare than this old scratching pole Sitting in the corner silent With that blue glow to your face I still don’t know If […]
Future Diaries: She, Robot
I used to be creative. I used to make music, construct images, to write, to draw. I used to have a thirst to learn. Now I am petty and self absorbed, I have turned out just like my father. I am a one dimensional character paralyzed by self awareness, full of self loathing. But I […]
Jumpsuit
Locked so many eyes Turned away that many signs Exorcised most feelings And simmered down the tides too high Returning greetings from white knuckled fists Buckled daily, but did not return Faced straight to what the crooked say To reach a resolution, one is patient Must wait through, ’til crack of day I’ve locked so […]
Wearing Hides
Down at the fork in the road you are damned Internalize or break law in symmetry, Follow fate safe along these parallel scars, of past in present Inflammation lingers longer, it will linger tightly, a reminding message It’s predictable on you Be the better man, girl Retribution, it bears broken teeth Your mother told you […]
The Mountain
Floods the river, caves the mountain Dragging out these fantasies of disappointment Follow me out by border’s way Passive, marching by my side Cracking strata clears a stage for two Guilt is green, as I am clear You’re colour blind and I can’t hear Ignorance is bliss War is familial Hands will tear At those, […]
