WEIRD TIME TO BE A TOURIST:

Fast moving Ruby,
Stroking cinnamon stick,
Sugar in the foam,
Whip it up,
Lick it,
Tapping fingers on paper napkins a long way from home,

Wax & Ram underneath a tree,
Stone flute for the papers,
Reflection in an eight lobed Bronze mirror,
Elbows in the air for the egg bread,

Noodle sticks,
Diamond flower dangling around the neck of an apology,
Receiving messages,
Browsing in flip-flops & premium camouflage,
Following a path to a new life,
Rookie wins the day,

Progress comes to breakfast,
Lace over t-shirt,
Too many clothes,
Not enough fashion,
A distraction of curves,

Pumpkin & Bamboo shoot it out,
Picking dirt from under fingernails,
Full milk,
Jungle Crunch,
Please put the cover here

CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN CONE & GREEN:

The Gold is loose around the wrist,
The Silver spoon feeds the lips,
Skin is evenly tanned behind toughened glass,
Stone lies silent at the bottom of a pond,
Listening to the rain,
Collisions of concentric circles

(K)

OSAKA TO TOKYO:

People keep expecting miracles,
But I keep playing music,
Raining in Osaka,

She sits like stone,
Statuesque,
Perfect hands resting on her legs,
No fish in the water outside her window,
Only Purple Autumn flowers in the trees,
Green-on-Green,

Mickey’s hand holds a camera,
Dangling,
Ludicrous,
Across a shoulder,
Too crazy to take pictures,

Towers of industry,
Blind,
Pushing heads into clouds,
Clouds come down to the ground,
A fine mist,
Hissing,

Here comes the Black tea,
The answer to our prayers,
Morning,
Rain,
Warm rain,

A hand describing arcs in the air,
Plucks laughter from a Pink dress,
Too much morning perfume walks past,
The morning paper,
Shooting missiles

(K)

OSAKA:

Fish,
And fish,
And fish,
And fish,

Do you like fish?
Oh!

(K)

SPIRIT GUIDE:

I wish I was in Essex,
Not here in the sky,
Everything gets electric,
Slow it down,

The journey ahead,
This road to get there,
Four-star train,
How’re you doing?
Flossing,

The end of the world,
What’s so special?
Dip your toes in the water,
Culture,
Conversation,
Dreaming,
Hands in the air,
The high,

She kneels & keeps touching me,
I don’t like it

(K)

STILL LIFE WITH A TURKEY PIE:

Tip your head back,
Turn around,
Stand still,
Don’t move your hands,
Be weird for the camera,
Now be straight,
Look at me,
Now look away,
Dance,
Don’t dance,
This one is just silhouette,
This one we see your face,
This is from the knees up,
This is just heads,
Face each other,
Back-to-back,
Turn your head,
Raise your chin,
Drop your chin,
Look away,
Look at me,
Get in close,
One-behind-the-other,
I’m coming closer,
I’ll be far away,
You’ll be in the dark,
A light will come on,
Stand on a chair,

Film maker,
Photographer,
Make me scream

(K)

HOT SCOOP:

Caught on camera,
Two fingers behind the back,
Concealed in Black,
And White,
A light,
And a whistle,
To attract attention,

Come on,
Stop acting the maggot!
Your Mom has gone on holiday,

Traveller,
This was my kitchen,

Hello,
I am exposed

(K)

KEY:

Kills the pain,
Calls like rust,
Flying low unseen,
Sits on the horizon catching light,
Radiant,

Medication stalking boarders,
Stops,
Looks back over shoulders,
Briers & sweet berries watch benevolent

(K)

TIME IS A UNIT OF LOVE:

The rain is good today,
It smells Green,

A rose pruned hard back,
A photograph of a promise,
A piece of a memory snapped off a party you once had,
Keeps returning,
Showing up long after it was swept away,
Carrying a message,
Flickering shadow,

Lines in parallel,
Personal,
Anniversary bird calls wrapped in glass,
Words clinging to garden canes,
Rock in gentle breezes,
Paper snakes,
Transmit,
At home completely

(K)

BEAT THE RUSH:

They all come in,
Pushing push chairs,
Tiny futures on wheels,
Yacking,
Young mums,
Escaping,
Waving,
Leaning out of the rain,

Bang!
Somebody dropped something,
It sounds great!
Alive!
Do it again!
I was falling asleep at the wheel
