Lydia
I met a woman at the Blue Nile.
Our first encounter was her attempting to kiss my face. She seems to be in her mid-late fifties/early sixties. She began to tell me that she is okay, over and over again. She began to cry. She told me her sun died. He OD'ed at 39 years old. She watched him die, with his head between the toilet and the sink. Her other sun blamed his brother's death on her. Sh...

My Unborn Child
You left my body
before you were born.
My freezing body
floated toward the light,
only to be returned
to life by grace
and a prayer.
I was glad to
be alive but bewailed
my unborn child.
My child, did you
leave me because
of my sins?
To leave my sordid
life ...

Happy Fucking Father's Day
Relentless June rain juggles summer of performance
To the rolling up of realisation, also someone’s daughter
Equestrian misses whipping mistress, remains martyred loner

Medium of intuition dangles planchette of indecision
To your high wire of collusion, an in...

Once I Loved You
I loved you once as deeply as any man could Will
and, if the darkest truth were known,
in my heart I love you truly still
Though the distance that lies between us

So farewell my love and lover once
and, as lovers ever true,
we will live and laugh and love again
like lovers that are new

Wait For The Flag To Unfurl
And you claim all your words are true
Then you run from me, saying 'Set me Free'
Such confusion is brought through you
Without such strife if incomplete
Dont play these games no more with me
Far better I'm left to rot here in solitary
And its ...
