Like Clockwork

This is a piece of writing that I didn’t have room for in my new upcoming book of poems and prose. It’s definately part of the collection, but it’s living here on my blog. The book is gonna be called My Bohemia and will be hopefully ready by the end of this week, and availableContinue reading “Like Clockwork”

Sister Midnight

(from my new book, which I will hopefully get out in time for my performance at Dumbells this Friday…) Painting your nails, glossy and black Little black dress with a low cut back Swigging on vodka, filter tips Pout for the mirror, your blood red lips Smudge those eyes like a faraway tramp Four inchContinue reading “Sister Midnight”

In addition to stalls selling books, clothes and some gorgeous handmade bits and bobs, there was a ‘listening tent’Continue reading “Saturday at St Luke’s”

That’s alright, mama…

Relief is the best emotion. I’ve always found it so. Like the time you were a kid dreaming you were stuck on the roof of a speeding train, screaming through the night with lightning going off all around and smoke and grit flying into your face (it was a steam train, ok?)…and then you wokeContinue reading “That’s alright, mama…”
