They’re trying to tell you
That your superstitions and machinations 
Are an exhausting game of whack-a-mole

"Night Flight"

the sky is 
an open eye
blue as the
Orpheus ocean 

clear in the 
shallows' grit
naivety irritates it 
birthing hard gems

a new dawn  

Morpheus deep
bipolar colours 
unrecognisable
hues and...

One to ponder: ,
The other in wonder,
With me added as your

Amber signal to warn us of coming

Teenagers dash to discos ...ready to dance

Hundreds of helpless patrons shocked and awed
An eon of murderous rage until
The long awaited reward from his “god”

RUNAWAY LOVERS

Sat Ba Barret restless in her room
Drinking death in dark and gloom
Tragedy seemed her last name
Despite the books that were her fame
Letters reached her by the score
But one kissed paper touched her core

shorn of fleshtone, gaping vulnerable;
sitting ducks begging for hits
to the bullseye;

for those who live a fast pace

Ripe for the plucking, the plucking,
Oh what time to be living, living,
When the ducks are all sitting, sitting,
With every one a trusting, a trusting,
That Johnny has stopped thieving, stopped thieving,
That Mary...

There is something wrong,
in this country today,
greed is so strong,
and we are the prey.

knowing good and well,
they can't afford to keep.
Within your means,
