ON THE PACKAGE THERE’S A USE-BY DATE:

But you can’t always go by that can you?
Do you?
Do you throw it away,
Even though it’s edible?

(K)

STANDING THERE:

Staring at me,
I’m not who you think

(K)

HOW DO YOU PAY THE RENT?:

How do you get from A-B?
Who’s phone is ringing when it should be silent?
How long have I got?
How much time do you need?

(K)

WHO’S THAT WEARING CUFF-LINKS?:

Who’s rusted frog is leaping?
Who’s table for one is waiting?
Who’s clock is ticking?
Who’s that hiding?
(Running away),
Who’s that listening?
(Never been heard),
Who gave you your name?
Where are they now?

(K)

UNDER THE GLOSS:

No sanitised,
Colour boosted,
Text corrected,
Airbrushed,
Urban landscape,
This is the place I keep to myself,
Still a kid,
A crow,
A nest,
And you can’t see me

(K)

A COFFEE TABLE BOOK:

I’ve photographed you,
Documented you,
Collected you,
And published you

(K)

AN OPEN PALM:

An open palm,
A place to hide,
Raised upon brutal bones,
Arrows,
And the familiar smell of secret places

(K)

THE POINT:

What’s the point,
In a multi-story car park with out a roof to park on?
A tower without a sky

(K)

WHO BROKE THE KING?:

Who Broke the King?
Not I!
Was it you?
He’s lying on the kitchen table,
Ribbon in his hair,
Covered in sparkles,
Wondering what went wrong,
The cat is running circles,
The dishes in the sink,
The sky comes down to kiss the ground,
And you are leaving

(K)

THE PLACE IS A MESS:

But one day…
