Postcards from Ecuador
The end dear friend is just the entry and he pointed, but he never meant me, it was the old man sat inside me that the message was intended for. I sat and wondered about the door and what was it the entry for and could it be he meant me after all? Then the…
Fighting inertia
perhaps the universe turns and it’s we who expand. sand and crabs and slabs of Kendal Mint Cake I ache for simpler times but who can say their yesterday was better than tomorrow is? perhaps when time contracts to bring us back and take us further away from the onslaught of today we can relax…
Unshaven in Spitzbergen

Patchwork in progress
Colluding on this we join in a kiss. Following on because after all after the fall there has to be something. About the details, I never read the small print, anyway you’d have to squint and pull a face like a gurner to learn a thing from them. We continue in ignorance and in bliss…

Pounds per square inch
When does the fullness of time gather its wits and fill this glass of mine? The uncertainty swallows me allows me to ponder on imponderables The outcome of probabilities become possibilities to look into, and I’ll look into that…
The trick cyclist
There is always the waiting you hit the panic button but should be used to it by now, biting your nails as if that makes anything quicker pacing the corridor wishing there was more than waiting. I waited a long time for longer and wrong of me I see that now, my bones setting as hard…
