Literature Text
- she was sick of city lights
and city nights strung out by bars,
wasting cigarette smoke
on hollow lungs and lonely stones,
so when the stars rose again
she packed her bags and left
her memories with the skyscrapers.
she drove until the night turned
upside down and
the sun was on its head,
and when she reached the trees
she walked instead of
wasting the world.
she brushed her fingers
through ringed centuries
on trees in a forest
made of cherrywood dreams,
and she smiled
at the kiss of the sun
and the blessing of memories,
gone.
Literature
Patriot
driving through town, i saw him,
through misty,
bespectacled eyes
and
he saw me too. weary,
but enduring.
amidst the haze,
he conjured the fog of factory funnels,
half-built steel ships on the docks.
Cranes once lined the sky,
now they build banks and he calls it a tragedy.
in a puff of smoke,
he steals glass towers, replacing
them with redbrick
terraces. paints in monochrome
on the pastel-blue sky.
his city has two football clubs
and he hates one of them. his wife
hates the other but they both
breathe sea air and radio waves,
he holds her hand
through weddings
and funerals.
just how he remembers it,
the wind, the cold air as you emerge
Literature
self worth
Wanting for nothing
this budding rose
ready to wilt
along the stripped creek.
She's an arm's length
away, her taint some exposed
cove braving the sea
carved against the grain
of turning oceans.
Literature
you're ruining your teeth
i think i
lost my way with words -
maggot-skulled,
i've unlearned imagery

rotting to
