Oh good - Aubade

I cannot stop
Despite her
String cutting
Through transferring
A book domain
And she leaves me
Here wallowing alone
And I say I would lo...

Cold is the roiling retch of frostbitten flesh

A Rat's Prodding

...A wet patch of wa-ter glints
unusual! 
It was my ears that it re-flected,

The house on Lake Maggiore was reality, a physical truth, 
my imagination became the artist.

The day has become  a deckchair, gently folding itself up

Written in Wasted Pity
