She was one good looking chick
Straight out of Vogue, or a Spiderman flick
Her back was straight, she had that glow
Blonde hair, green eyes, healthy head to toe
And she had a fixation, that fix...

...Webs of a certain color
The wheels of dancing 
Silk under the stark stars

Hatred spinning
Filling the night with choices

...Where's Jack Nicholson?
Where did he go?

In Your Hands - For the Nhs

But mostly of my children being born
And love and opiates, both made to ease
The pain that wakes a body up at dawn

Creeping like an imposturous reptile
In the morning light of Eve’s Garden

...Am I dead or dreaming? Lightfoot and scheming.
My head is full, I’m not sure which persona is in charge.
Have taken strong opiates, many too illegal to mention.

sweetly singing her hypnotic score-

Virtual landscapes exist amidst temporary voiceless vortexes,
Temples of...
