Long Airtime Poems

Raid versus woe

Brain unstable as the hearth,
Fastness of the...

Flutter of white storm - trash?
Hundred cowbirds: commute

Flutter as leaders honk instructions
Above the misty waters:
Autumn here has...

I can almost understand,
The way the press in general wants to report,
On the happenings in society today,
Even if it sensationalises to the point,
Where it may be counter productive,
Because I know democracy would be hard pressed...

I woke up drenched in sweat
Sometimes that feels like a purge
I'm sure it's just linked to summer and the wrong choice of pyjamas, but I felt better
