I arrive as a person, not a label; writing frequently, mostly poetry, probably too much grimdark. Occasionally published on dead trees and electric screens, more often ignored. Welcome to my nightmare.

A banker also comes by, looks at him, and similarly crosses the road to walk past. A passing clown stops to take a look. He cleans the man's wounds with oil and wine, then binds him to a stump, and

not summer dressed in autumn's light
nor winter ready for a fight
tearing through the laden trees
all arms and elbows
cool mists and fruity mellowness will do
a glass of cider by the chair
and geese debating arrowheads above
in search of childhood's meadows

Text of poem -

Borders
Somewhere beyond time's curve civilisation lifted its glass rim. There was a pretence of light
for nations to walk by through the dark wood, where history wintered. Following I came to the foretold frontier
where with a machine's instinct the guns' nostrils flared at the blooms held out to them by the flower people.

Hullo #poetry #love
Off-Shore


If love came from oilfields,
I guess
we’d all first seek-out crude:
an era of speculative drilling
using our new, over-eager pipes,
but we refine over time
to value a substance 
less obviously visible to the naked eye,
it’s what we ultimately run on:
the sole resource
we must never seek
to diversify.
