HalcyonThis is life in cartwheels; none of this shall last. We can struggleHalcyon
or run
or wait to face the music; patiently aching
for the point at which we can begin to measure our life in milligrams,
pints or litres.

AtrophyFraught with nerves and paranoid ground down with helicopters wars and propaganda tools; suffocating in public.Atrophy
Embittered with this broken isle; sick of fighting
and tired
of resisting the
constant,
closed-circuit gaze.

AthiestI am the forest; I am the forest that creeps Covering ground cement Reclaiming the roads I am the sky; the sky that hovers low Suppressing the hills Blanketing the horizon I am the heart; a heart that ceases to beat Behind bloodied bars ribs Nestled in blackened blood I am the fear; your fear that bites The fear that stings and steals The breath away.Athiest
I am your God; the God that sits And sighs and moans A God that exists not.
