untitled pillows
Dawn disclosed it –
Light from an honest butter sky
Reveling in a freelance body next to me,
With our fragrant attraction
As dried up
As an Atacamian kiss.
I put in me
Sweet, sweet whiskey
Sweet scorned man.
Back then, under the accents
And sweet reprieve of street swept skies

The folly of lust
Preamble
As a teen, my mam used to put the mockers on my Friday nights out by saying “If you meet any girls treat them with respect, they are someone’s daughter or sister, don’t be having any casual sex or one-night stands”

My feelings bottled deep inside
Just hiding behind tall men like you
I feel very little
I laugh at the ridiculousness of it all

The Mayfly Dance
The Mayfly Dance
It snowed on Christmas Eve

The girls in cheesecloth shirts
And tight fitting Levis
The boys sporting long hair and moustaches

As we chose the jukebox plays
Of Zeppelin, Skynyrd ...
