SECRET DOOR:

Clearing up the piles of stuff I leave around,
Walking with an OS map made of paper,
Sunshine,
Birdsong,
The rhythm of walking feet down below,
Number patterns,
The tone,
The colour,
Of numbers,
One to eleven,
For some reason

(K)

A REASON FOR A TOWN:

I’m casting shadows on empty streets,
Nothing in the window,
Nothing for sale,
Two birds in a Blue sky laughing

(K)

THE BEAR THAT NEARLY DIDN’T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY:

I’m wearing a ludicrous hat,
In the street of watercolour nothing,
No one but me in town,
Where are all the people?
Am I that unpopular?
Hands in pockets,
Facing the camera,
You told me something great was going to happen

(K)

TANNING BITS:

Moving slower than everyone,
As two tiny holes whispered in his ears,
Connecting him to that other world,
The one he can’t survive this one without

(K)

WHERE BOXES MEET TO SEE THE LIGHT:

Sat alone,
Dressed in White,
Perfect beard,
Perfect hair,
Perfect skin,
Sampling the breakfast buffet with a serene expression

(K)

A CUP:

I met him again at breakfast,
Sat amongst the tourists,
Who dressed in faded pastel Summer clothes,
If anyone had stopped to look,
It would’ve been obvious he was a man from another world

(K)

IN THE GARDEN:

The sounds escaping from the holes keep him alive,
As he moved through our world unnoticed

(K)

LOST HAND FOUND:

He could breath our air,
But our sounds were fatal,
So he blocked them out,
With two tiny holes,
Floating either side of his head,
Whispering in his ears

(K)

ICE MAN:

I met a man from another world,
He came here as a tourist,
Through a hole in the fourth floor of a hotel

(Listening to: Nubiyan Twist – ‘Jungle Run’)

(K)

INFINITY TV:

Stroller with a fresh paint job,
Where do you want me?
Today I’m a cartoon loner
