Twenty Three Years

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:29:00 -0500

Long lost but not forgotten.

Here Again

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:28:11 -0500

4 years and counting, back to the same, from the past and into the future. What’s the solution, but nothing, Tie me up and send me down. The inevitable or a state wanting …

Cluttered

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:04:50 -0500

Hording, torrential, mess, and life, all churned over and drawn in by the taut strings of victimisation.

Serenity

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:12:00 -0500

A perfect view, a quiet & comfortable spot, a rested head and a clear mind. Rains come, fog sweeps through and the sun eventually shines.

Sorry

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:33:00 -0500

For the lies I told, through the things I never said, and the thoughts that hurt you, though they never did.

Falling Apart

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:35:00 -0500

Mysogynists in bathers, care-free kids surfing the crest of a wave, and the wives sprawled out like sardines on an open fire down the beach.

Napoleonic Housewife

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:30:00 -0500

Middle-aged housewives barking orders at their brats and forever wondering why, with kids spoiled to the back teeth with love, affection and anything they ever want.

Cherry Ice Cream

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:05:37 -0500

Hung, drawn and quartered, red ripe fruit, like bodies of times past, butchered and prepared for pure and simple gratification.

Telegraph Poles

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:24:41 -0500

Telegraph poles stake the graves of convicts along the highway they built. Historical and linear scars across the landscape that once made this great land.

Insincere Apologies

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:46:00 -0500

Decades of assimilation, degradation and disrespect, book-ended by insincere apologies from the men in frocks and bastard politicians; and yet somehow we still live in such dark and ignominious ages. Empathy and sympathy, never have and never will trip off the mind and dance the light fantastic.

Old Men

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:12:06 -0500

Avaricious old men with the mindset of a school boy, moneyed and yet impoverished in mind, and burdened by the hardship of expenditure and effort.

Ragtime

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:35:49 -0500

Ragtime not bag time, slinking fingers undress the keyboard and vocals strip the mind bare. Convivial liquor makes one feel slicker and the sun burns the worries away.

Consumerism

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:58:09 -0500

The hagged tree stands forlorn, the disheveled layers of tinsel wrapping it like a noose whilst presents sit strewn around it, already forgotten and meaningless.

Hillside

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:54:00 -0500

Green tangled lines, linear abstractions, covered shapes, in and of themselves, on curved formulaic dips and ridges; rich hues and silhouettes of which will befall you.

Vibrations

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:53:25 -0500

Vibrations, proverbial scratchings and forever thoughts. Of darkness these do fall, and with light they do pass, but of nothing they do.

Pointless

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:19:10 -0500

…

Chlorinated

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:54:00 -0500

Ephemeral sounds, broad spans of arches and pounding wavelengths crash in sine.

Abstract Nouns

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 05:55:14 -0500

Like abstract nouns, chocolate mounds sit. Cratered and marked with rivulets, these yummy slices await a “bloody end”.

Flying

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 06:57:08 -0500

Flying on the edge of a gradient. No dream time, no order.

Sirens

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 20:01:53 -0500

Beating their way across sun kissed slopes and hanging dead the song of sweet birds chirping.
