Leave - Me - Alone
Frankly bewildered…
I find life so absurd
Your serenity shines on
God, I want to be like your son
Why was I pushed in the margins?
Is it because of my abominable sins?

Nightscapes
Late night summons madmen,
madams, bold streetwalkers,
picking pennies from the gutters
as the merchants close their shutters
and the homeless crouch in doorways
in their rags, against the cold.
Black or white, no compromise,...

My heart beats on fast
My anxieties are so vast
Whatever...

Sands of time running out, running from their past
Desert winds howl, howl like hungry ghosts
Howling louder than bombs and tyrannical hosts
Little feet march, march across scorched earth

Lovely enchantress of cyberspace

curtains closed and tittering

Descending,
I manipulate and manoeuvre for the updraft
Spluttering,
I spiral down, then briefly up again, to glimpse a glowing sky
Flapping,
