PREGNANT FEATHERS
The light touch of pregnant feathers,
...of pauses,
...of the purple flowers I bought
living in still water from the leaky tap in our kitchen,
teardrops on her thighs standing for too long.
...and where the baby washes in silence,
without pain,
...my goodnight kisses on the bud of a rose,
on the chill of a cliff caged bird
in hot sours and...

THE CHELSEA SHAGGER - RESOLVED
The stowaways,
disappearing into the dark alleyways of Berlin,
washed of all their clothes
and well hidden in the fog ,
they fall down the plastic capped steps.
As you lay with your eyes shut I danced around the room,
eclipsed from your view,
out of sight.
Another Christmas Day alone,
chilled furrows of soil lay in the sodden field...

It's strange how two people that respect each other as friends can end up really walking over each other when they get romantically involved, my boyfriend got involved with a friend ages ago - still really close friends but they just didn't work (yay for me!). Personally I steer clear of the whole sexing friends thing...
That sounds awesome! Just give me the details and I'll be there....ooo...what do I wear?

Distances glitter between us,
wet,
like lips freshly drawn down a cheek by a slowing tongue.
Freesias dead,
carried upon my shoulder
as a homage to Tennessee,
to the end of Acre's lane.
Men in overcoats working the mud spattered concrete,
glass lodged in the tires of the wheels glued to the road,
greying skies filling my window
just as your lipstick did on the...

Hey amigo. Swinging moods are reassuring sometimes, I think - they break up rigidity.
The picture is Tobias and the Angel, from The Book of Tobit, one of the apocryphal Old Testament books. The angel is the archangel Raphael, who guides young Tobias to a miraculous healing-fish, which saves the sight of Tobias's dad Tobit. Raphael is the patron saint of healing and his symbol is the Caduceus, that staff with the snake or snakes twining round it, used as the symbol of healing by pharmacists down through the ages and up to the present day. Rudolf Steiner said that Raphael is the same being that was known as Mercury and Hermes in antiquity.
Love the poem. It has a stillness that builds, then is broken by those last four words. You almost don't want it to be broken.
F.Y.I. I'm leaving SG anyday now - see you on Facebook or wherever

He is the aroma of the street,
a man with blonde locks like chilled amber,
each strand strangles the drawn lines of his face,
freyed cotton spills from the worn knees of his grey slacks,
receding calmly his hairline broods with Nordic glower,
His eyes like flowers,
purple,
blue,
alive with ice in the power of the glacier.
Cavity's held breath shimmers incandescent azure...

IN A COMA OF LILIES
In a coma of yellow lilies and cold water I lay,
my back on a blanket of silt,
every field where I died
full of root, barley, hyacinthe,
surrounded by jade's of hours seeped away in sleep.
Scents of lemongrass, scorns of jasmine and cumin,
sweet mewing cat calls to a Wednesday
slenderly black and evocative.
Prickles of the sun...

*breathes easy* Beautiful.
I live inside a cello,
sweet patters of rain upon my chipped tooth;
Breathless Chittle Cherub Chatter hums in the air...
and the bow is drawn to slide down the slivers of wire from top to toe.
They are spun from the loose threads of my rain coat,
plucked with a well lit slight of hand.
Dabbling in knee soup-ette's,
I asked our burlesque heart,...

That's an old photo of me but I'm re-growing the growth at the moment. I'm going for a dapper-gent-in-a-three-piece-suit sort of beard. Sculpting with the razor's a bitch, though.

'Winter Light' is superb. 'The Seventh Seal' I've only seen once, many years ago, and it didn't really sink in. 'The Silence' may be my favourite, or 'Through a Glass, Darkly'. Though I have a soft spot for 'Summer with Monika'. Fuck, they're all class.
This is the re-edit of my last film, not quite finished yet as the sound hasn't been fully mixed. Have a look and tell me what you think

Yes'm, let's exchange numbers nearer the time and we'll find a day and time that suits us both. I don't drink/frequent pubs, though, did you know that? Pubs during the day are okay. Obviously they're so full of debauchery and such that if I went in in the evening I would be lost, God save me 
So wait and see whereabouts you'll be staying or where you'll be near and we'll pick some dive or other.
Looking forward to it man, it'll be a laugh

Good-o!
I am back for now. The world is a strange and confusing place.
Just to let you guys know I won't be renewing my membership on SG. Life has become too hectic of late and I can't use it as much as I previously enjoyed. I may be back at some point in the future. If you wish to stay in contact or send me your great poems etc then lets set up an email list where the...

another poet bites the dust.I sat at the concert of souls with a cast of characters I had surmised entirely (although maybe not entirely) from my fictions. I rested on my paws, blue guitar in hand, it was a resonant neon-sounding instrument on which I could pluck a melody of baby hair and screws with equal delight and disorder, the growing echoes of a crowd swelling below in the...
