a crash course on human nature: discontentment, lust, destruction. we rinse and repeat. i knew a soul like it was my own, once. we were in perfect sync throughout our years of discord. shells, we were, buried in sands the colour of ash and we found eachother through sheer coincidence. one and the same, two rings of silver worn over time until there was no shine left within us. we would walk our paths of dust for days [never running. our lives were chasing a short space behind, but we never ran] until there was no grey dust left to wa

phaedra has strayed from the path of good sense. i know a place in which there are no questions no tongues to speak, no eyes to explore and in its dark centre there is a puzzle that will not be reassembled. there is a spiderweb stretching from east to west in which i lie immobile and knowledge paralysed. i am the ugly duckling of truth (read as: i have trouble expressing myself things i know but cannot prove, an endless spray of saltwater against the gaping holes in my soulmeetsflesh.) in order to get an image, you must know sy

oliver, the sun won't rise for another three hours or more and you have me rapt until she wakes the treebranches and windowpanes. do you have the time to teach me love? i am not so well versed, but i've heard it means the following things: staying cocooned in the bedsheets until noon has passed. notes on the fridge door reminding me to use the opened milk. letting me think you forgot my birthday, and surprising me three days later with lindor chocolates and a pack of morinaga sweets and a night curled up on the couch with the foreign movies i love so much. talki

i can show you fear in a handbasket, the girth of the sun snapping leather belts until our faces fall to the earth
the bottle was broken, message pecked by gulls- i hope you know i sa

Through a dark tunnel
of bent birch and cedar I walk. Soft moss on cobblestone. Home.
The tilted bird bath drips with
tea coloured rain. Vines snake up
old walls even as the sandstone crumbles.
Decaying gutters sag with sad, welcoming smiles, heavy with dead leaves and the fallout of terracotta tiles.
