I woke

to find the night still present

the light still

soft and grey


I watched

as it changed to golden, pale yellow

a gift full

of promise and dreams

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

In the half-morning light

she wakes

eyes glued shut with the remains

of evening’s tears


Sounds and pictures in her mind

call softly, cruelly

beseeching her to enter again

the world of dreams


In the half-evening light

she watches

eyes wide with the brittle ends

of today’s cares


Half-heard conversations and alleyway scenes

beckon, headlong, crazy,

inviting her to join once more

the dusk charade

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

My mind jumps and

startles at

shadows

trembling to see what

will emerge

from the night

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg
Through Light Cover Image_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
