When I was little my family lived in a house cut in half. Behind a blocked off door lived Milka, an elderly Russian lady who took pride in her precious front garden. I didn’t know the names of these flowers but I knew my front yard was a rainbow. My Mum called it our fairy garden and told me that every child has a fairy that lives on their shoulder, you couldn’t always see it but you could feel...

It was midnight. There was no clock to strike, but the everlasting words of Tupac filled the abandoned palace “I see no changes, all I see is racist faces, misplaced hate makes disgrace for races; we under. I wonder what it takes to make this one a better place… let’s erase the wasted. Take the evil out of the people, they’ll be acting right.”
We had discovered what we now called ‘The...

At 40, he’d never grown up.
His eyes showed a lack of depth but an abundance of boyish humour. He was a child endlessly wandering a man’s body. For five years he kept us in our own private never land; a place where the fineries were packed bongs and half cigarettes. When the stars disappeared he never forgot to give us a bedtime kiss and a glass of coke to soak our lungs in. However he’d never...

They drove until there was nowhere left to drive, a turn off on the right and there it was, the closest most of them would ever get to paradise… a prickled disaster of closed in caves and grassy knolls where we danced. A downhill hike to an uphill battle. The treachery of tires and the fear that lights strike in the distance. Muddy puddled bongs and leftover coke bottles in a bin made of...

“he wants to be a golf star, he practices every day out there in the yard”
we move the blind slightly and take a peak, hit the ball, run, collect the ball, hit the ball, run, collect the ball, “I need to study for my maths”

we hold hands and we run, push each other into white washed walls, leap through a third story window, land in the grass on our feet, stumble into the prickles, hands let go, eyes to the sky, fingers to the ground.
Lovers turn into monsters at the loss of all affection
Almost like it was the affection that kept them from being monsters
And I could have used some warning
I was on that porch all morning
Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt
Could it be I am mistaken, have I stolen somebody’s baby?
Is it possible for two people to need the same thing?
It’s just the lines, they get...

harder, harder,
harder, eyes gleam with misfortune, a rats tail to fear, “make me a cup of tea”, “here is your shirt and here is your pants and here is my heart for you to fuck”
I love you
You love me too but in the deepest hole of insanity there is something missing
gleaming fucking bright sparkling starry night eyes from below the bleachers
make the bed and rub in the moisturizer an...
i love you and its killing me.
I am part of the living but I do not live the same as the rest. I see infected fairies, swapped for Skittles and cigarettes. Your arms around my waist and your head between my legs. A nowhere raft floating forever. You are everything to me, hands criss-crossed over hearts lost. I am found but my insides long for you. Your fairy floss lips left stains on my skin. A living, breathing, beating,...
