Astrophilia
When mother asked me what I dreamed of becoming, I never thought I’d say: an astronomer. But here I am: hair undone, in a wine-blotched slip tracking you, the moon around my earth.

Suddenly a shadow swiftly smears a window staining its filmy, hazed glass; a corrugated feeling, firm and undulating settles steel-hard in her stomach. Hurriedly her hand reaches for her heart but it isn’t there……., it’s replaced by a beating drum which beats and repeats...

I'd borrowed Pa’s umbrella to shelter from the rain, alas one spoke is now broken I’m scared that Pa’s will go insane! My best friend Jacques was with me when there was a sudden squall, I tried to hold onto the umbrella but it crashed hard against a wall. So Jacques is walking by my side and he will take me to my door, he’ll...

With Hushed Thoughts
In solitude, I find calming breath between spaces Emptiness filled without the sound it replaces The silence against time in a rush to conclude I find calming breath between spaces, in solitude With these hushed thoughts I give voice to creation See ink form words full of haunting flirtation Or quietly smooth out the lived-in rough knots I give voice...

Hushed Gore The forest deep carries the biggest gunners Those who do the most damage That you remember the most and worst The school bully who nobody could master The boxer that no opponent beat The soldier who loved to fight The woman who stepped on men These people carry the biggest guns And walk thru the darkest glade Enormous trees surround them Here there is...
