It's occurred to me that I really love the kind of things that represent a beautiful but gentle sadness because it feels like the most accurate reflection of real life and it feels the most like home.

Eden

I found my bliss 

Heading south on the A23

She’s a rollerskate

He’s a magnet 

Like the easy way 

Water slides down your throat. 

 

Me, a pearl of existence 

Gently cooking in this black car 

Heat. From July. Discomfort 

In the way my baths

Are always stifling. 

 

A glissando of tyres 

Droning down to the coast 

Under a weatherless sheet 

Of baby blue...

My place

The place I go to

it’s always there

as real as it can be

its real to me.

Somewhere near but a map will never show

 

It’s a house

a pond beside

and trees large and green

a winding path

a shady porch.

Not in a town but nearby

its quite most of the day.

 

I'll find it I know

and when I do

it will be my time.

I’m renting,

No, I rent

Yes, I’m actually renting..

No, no, no, not looking to buy.

 

I don’t have rich parents

Yes, I should buy..

And how about you?

Fuck off.

So close yet so far

Six hours in the car

 

Memories

Pasties

Miles and Miles

 

One day, we will be reunited

Until then, 

unrequited.

Brunette. Blonde

Black. Grey

I am auburn.

 

Hazel. Green

Brown. Blue

I am Grey.

 

Tabs, blanks

Pockets, sockets

Corners, middles

I am unique.

 

Flat pieces; four points

Innies and lock

The back

always Grey

 

Without me, you are not complete

With me, we are replete

 

A needle in the haystack

melancholic morning

Smea...
