...A cool damp spring day
Jonquils shivered
Dandelions danced dizzily

Unashamedly celebrating their weedness
Bowing to the jeering cr...

Tarn

...A mountain tarn,
a deep-water eye,
high and blackly gleaming.

A scramble down slippery scree
to look within,
then a tingling apprehension
of being too close
to an unbalanced footing,

    Updraft lifts limbs, leaves scurry like mice exposed
    Mother Nature shakes shorebreak, incline imposed

The Descent

...Drowsy vertigo thoughts losing their substance 
in the spirals of deafening maelstrom black waters,
my letters—my ruins—my Sodom 
becoming the cries that 
never reach bottom—

          —never ...

...Drummers are no paradigm you know
Sometimes changing 4 to 2 time

Premium MemberTo which image should we cling?

...Trailing clouds of glory do we come
The magical moments of childhood
When we felt at one with the universe
Spinning dizzily with delight

Or with more of horrible and awful
That even to name is...

...*last winter break*

I woke up abruptly, my chest gripped and tight. My face felt hot but my arms stung as if frostbitten. I gasped for air that wouldn’t come, as if I had a plastic bag over my hea...

Mortar, and brick

Nowhere to turn without feeling sick, stoned

To my stomach

...No machines waiting for me,
Everything is as clean as can be.
For the time being I am sitting happily,
Inhaling indica until I sway dizzily.

...autumn's champagne light
                              dizzily dreamy mauve clouds
