Behind the curtain
I am not seen
And I am not heard
But I am not a ghost
You see
And I suppose
This is a little
Complicated
I am seen
And I am heard
Quite a lot
And though
It is my voice
and my face
It is not me
And therein
Lies
The problem
For who is it
They see
And hear
And where Indeed
Am I
Other than somewhere
Inside my
Head

To my dad
Most times
The world ticks on
As though
It never happened
And maybe
You’re
Still there
And other times
It’s back
Behind the eyes
Bashing at the heart
Or behind it
Somewhere at least
Rattling the rib cage
And I can see
Where you stood
Where you slept
Your ghost
I guess
Except at least
If there was a ghost
I might
Entertain at...

The Magic Mirror
You know
We all swallow our
Tablets
Are all poisoned by
Our own bad
Medicine
We paint a picture
Of the day

And struggle
Out of bed
Trudge the Monday morning

Buy dreams in
Bottles or in packets
From here or there
Always someone
Will sell
Always someone
Will buy
And we spend our
Free time

Hanging on a thread
I’ve never felt
So alive
And yet
So close
So on the verge
So on the edge
Like a great
Discovery
Too good to
Be true
Like
Sometimes
I can feel
The heart beat
Of exactly
Where I’m supposed to be
And all the lights
Shine
Like the fates
Have all lined
Up
With torches
Of fire
And of passion
And then
Sometimes

And then I die
A word of warning
My friend
Im watching this
Thing
On Telly
You know
It’s one of those
He did this
They did that
Someone died
Then a another someone
It looked like an accident
It wasn’t
There were some clues
I think I
Missed them
And then I think
I haven’t a clue
What is actually
Going on
And maybe
I’m not
Giving it...
