About Me

And this is how it will end: We'll eat each other one last time. And in that time, joined by the lips, our teeth will grip and legs will flail behind. The spinning blur that we become will form a circle - A flash of light, which streaks through darkness - Shaded laughter forming shadows, black and empty. When our lips are sore and purple, when the heat of flight is burning, lips let go, teeth let go... please let go. Our modest sun will fall to moon, we'll hide behind forgotten promises, grow some new ones, paint our suns, find a new darkness, shine a new light.
It travelled slowly down one armClimbing a muscleShifting gear to scale the crescent Swerving a moleBusting through hairsIt raced a drop of sweatWhich ran out of gasParking its oval bodySizzling against the white tarmacShaking its head at a steaming hoodPushed by endless fuelThe scarlet cruiser raced onSwinging like a pendulumArcing cross an armpitPedal to the metalDragging its rosy trackWe both studied the speedsterMarvelled at its progressAs it chose a side roadChanged lanesTook the tendon highwayReached my meaty thumbShe dabbed a printed tissueWet the softness with her tongueReached downDragged the paper down my armShe swept away the evidenceWith surgical precisionHer hand reached for the scissorsGently cleaned the bladesThe hospital? she said nervouslyDont be sillyIts just a scratch.

Monochrome Museum - This Saturday

Well, I sent a song to Moll & John at Monochrome Museum, an internet radio show that I listened to last week. I thought the pair had a good dynamic on air, and they certainly sounded as though they we...
