NASTY

Fear is the thin edge of a rather nasty wedge.

BOTH SHIELD AND SWORD

BOTH SHIELD AND SWORD

Shine light on the dark
And it can no longer live
Fear its sole weapon

BEING COOL

BEING COOL

Ah, things we’d rather be
No, don’t let us go there
We’ve been here long enough
To know where longing leads

OBSERVATION

OBSERVATION

Practice makes perfect
Day after month after year
Until time dissolves

CONSOLATION

Made another mistake. Consistency then at least.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN

THE GREAT UNKNOWN

That past begat us
Now quietly awaits us
Whispering, “Submit”?

IN TWO MINDS

I did my best but it was rubbish.

It was rubbish but I did my best.

SUFFICIENCY

SUFFICIENCY

Is it more than two
The number of legs required
Just to stand upright?

BALANÇOIRE

BALANÇOIRE

When you make a mistake
then you say, “That’s not right.”
Then you say, “You’re not wrong.”
That’s how you stay balanced.

SAGE AND UNION

SAGE AND UNION

One moment it’s spirituality
Next moment sex
How self-indulgent
Can one person be
For Heaven’s sake?
You have to wonder
What on Earth’s going on?
