The Hotel CaretakerHow unparticular the day had particularly been,
On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,

Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm
"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"
There are rumours
about me, some
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

Frequency
“Frequency”
we are separated
from the others
by a thin membrane
electromagnetic
we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own
frequency
existing to be lit
the fuses touching

that which we do
and do not see,
believe
answers embedded

When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,
she closed her eyes

her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,
beds of Forget-Me-Nots,
she followed the
labyrinthine trail
and through a gate unhinged,
it would seem destroyed, thrown aside,
she...

gliding in vast solitariness there,
so that all that remains is to

and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers—nude, forlorn.
