Collaboration with David Kavanagh
Regret fuses form which echoes perception
Handcuff to water as sought submerged reflection
Anti duplicitous from own point of view
Rejection offends but that says more about you
Transformation on edge, background statuesque
Self absorbed in pool, bilocation grotesque
Feet disappear, as sacrificial bait
The real catch lies behind, not quite checkmate
The heterosexuals lurk muttering their vows
Unable to fathom their failure to arouse
Wider contemplation rests with the herd
Obsession with self still a curse I preferred
Too good for water, I’ll regenerate inside an egg
The hand of god hatches me, as admirers beg
I love myself so much, will imbibe my own death
A new shoot starts to form, osmosing fresh breath
Sand down the edges, map out the plan
I'm more than my beauty, more than this man
You don't see inside me, an insular plane
The answer evades me til I live again
And grow I shall, right down through the ages
Not always simultaneous, in periodic stages
Metamorphosis takes time, to let go of perfection
I’m immortal, stunning, a self selection
