My stories

Russian Conversation Lesson

Someone said yeah but look at Gaugin I can't remember why Someone said I like the way you walk You kind of bounce Someone said all I need is five thousand pounds to set up a perfect teahouse in Moscow And I explained the term completely penniless

Nicotine 6/ Friends Reunited 2

I knew it wasn't real love I would hold you like a secret party corner Trying to inhale the redness of your curls They've all gone now As we stand in the cold light of each other's mutual warnings

Raving Mother

Family Snap

Years later I might stand here compelled to be near your last moments and loving you so much still I might stagger into the water and cut my feet to ribbons

Lifebuoy

I've not so much slipped my moorings as my desert island disc I'm a broken record Mildy marooned Flaring up then dipping like a sea biscuit into your saltiness
