In secret, the whiff of boiling lipsticks
Chastises the lungs of scorpions.
Murals hang on battered doors of
Decrepit banners, hoisted by dust-swept
Elements ...

Grief

...I remember the grief in Samuel
when Saul failed,
like the grief in Nile
when blood crept into it —
just like it creeps into the bones of
this earth.

The rage in grief is distant but distinct,...

Something Left Over

...It must have been made
and rejected
in times grinding gears –
a knobby irregularity,
a leftover of smelt and dross.

This is all there is

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Remember For A Short Little While

...Isn’t it odd?

Mr and Mrs Heartbroken

...The first heart attack was quite mild:
he put it down to indigestion 
at first, but the pain persisted.
Some pills and lectures on lifestyle changes
followed the stay in hospital.

Clever Cat and Mini Mouse

...An oval shape—a ghostly pane,
A frame of whispers, soft refrain.
It hung in quiet, out of view,
Where silence slept and shadows grew.

I glimpsed “the oval window, a portal to another dimension,...

I Came Back From Death

I came back from the dead with petals in my mouth,

No angels marked my rising, no trumpets split the sky—
Just dust that shook it...

a quiet walk

...a quiet walk 

In the graveyard, I walked
