  • Jonathan: A New Chapter

    [19 September 2022] He awoke. It was already past dark, and the candle he had accidentally left on before he had fallen asleep still flickered, melted down to a glossy puddle that spilled out onto the desk and drip drip dripped onto the floor unceremoniously. What time is it? he asked himself rhetorically, not bothering…

  • Midautumn Psalm

    4 November 2019 I watch you sink into the earth, toe first. The roots wrap around your feet and your legs and climb up your thighs and your stomach and your chest and down your arms and cradle your head. Here, we can remember. Here, we can forget, Organic vision in all dignity, in all…

  • The whole world is contained in the petal of a flower

    [4 October 2019] The whole world is contained in the petal of a flower – so said a voice older and wiser than mine; yet still we push, we strive, we strain, we stretch to peel back the curtain, to peer behind the veil (ironically made empty by comparison and distracted), our loftiest aims and…

  • I have seen you

    [17 September 2019] I have already seen you, painted large on the canvas in my mind, seen your skin imprinted with bedsheet roadmaps and stubble pinprick constellations. I kiss the back of your neck and the fog rolls in through the open bedroom window, swirling around the sheer curtains and spilling onto the duvet and…

  • Chrysalis

    [13 September 2019] Your words and your desire separated by two thin panes of glass, counting the minutes, piling them high, sorting them into highs and lows and other things undeniably known not as impassibility but as something rather like confidence. Truth is tested and trust is built in the silence between word and speech.…

  • Burnham-on-sea

    [12 September 2019] Remember the night we stood at the edge of the wharf, breath matching the in and out of the tide eroding shorelines and hard lines between you and me and self-transcendenceand the low wail of the fog horns somewhere off the coast. Seeing and knowing, being seen and being known, boundaries shifting…
