thick white drop

of rain perhaps
sprays skin
as it almost brushes
cheek to splat
at the feet

to measure
the timing too precise
to be merely chance

a bird shit in my face today
but for the least

Only the broken-hearted know the colour of the ache of love lost and it is brown.


The defining line between the written the shadowed and the real merges to become one statement caught in the act of creation.


Locked. Really, the barbed wire is kind of overkill. After all anyone could just walk around the gate to get in


Star vista pattern laid in the sand to send the aliens the signal as to where the weirdos live.
