a WRITE_1
of passage

passage: from περᾰ́ω  (peráō)

to go from one side to another

to pass through, over or traverse, cross, esp. over water

(intransitive) to penetrate or pierce (of a pointed weapon)

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Mind spinning,

startled and scrambling

like a frightened rabbit


Stretched taut and

far –

too far and much too much


Mind busy,

locked in dance and circling,

always looking for the new


Crazy, complex and

unstoppable –

too far too fast too much

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Like fabric bleached out by

the harsh southern suns,

fibres weak and lax –

a body without the taut, tight

bounce of “new”


A dull, slow exhaustion lies

at the base of my skull

spreading eager fingers down my neck

and pounding, grinding heels into the

space that is me


And the energy leaches

out through the frayed

edges of my mind;

drifting away like so much sand

in a desolate land

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Words and ideas

stacked in my mind

like a house of cards

could collapse at

the slightest provocation


Meanings and connections

bound and confused

like fishing line –

a complex tangle

in an instant

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).
