21/M/London Just in my room
Sometimes you want to tilt the hourglass Slow the sands or have them flow the other way Through the tiny gap Only something inconceivable will fit We get caught in the current unnoticed And we choke on a single grain unmoving

Tilt The Hourglass
I don't remember the first time I met you. Only old ripped up pictures that I may or may not be in 'cause babies all look alike after a while. I remember the second time I met you. Your old apartment dulled by a haze of cigarette smoke and your nose shone red and fat like a clown's. I remember the third time I met you. You sat adorned with flowers as a man stood and sang your praises and a woman walked plainly behind the procession.

Family Stranger
The bird sings He cries He screams The words of the great and free Of the one. He who took it all And he the one who cried "I am the one! The one to end it all And begin the new time Of me." Screams disappear into the forests His eyes glimmer He fights in stone And sets in metal The iron gaze to the right By the disgrace of God The people are gone Never to tell their tales Of this suffering In his hands Señores, this is all we have left It won't buy you a loaf of bread But it may buy him a heart for him to feast on.

Cinco Pesetas
Wait Please wait Please don't tell me this is all there is Every day I'm waiting for something to happen And nothing ever does You sit on the floor and look up I wander I wonder Do I try to find a way? Will you let me? The ocean waves crash again Wait Please wait.

Wait...
It may be true that songs of ancient lovers are stranger than pulp. A sanctuary in the far fences of mind.

"MY" MANIFESTO IS AS FLOWS FOLLOWS: SHE GOES IN THE WIND IN THE EFFERVESCENCE OF THE NIGHT AND IN GALLANT STRIDES IT GOES THROUGH THE WIND OF THE CITIES OF MECHANISMS AND MINDS OF THOSE WHO SUFFER UNJUSTLY BY THE SIGHT OF THE MODERN. HE BRINGS THE DOG THE WATER AND HIS DANCE LIGHTS UP A THOUSAND SHIPS, FOR HIS HEIGHT BRINGS THE DOG THE WATER OF THE MACHINE, AND IN THERE AND THEREIN IS THE ONE THEY CALL LIFE AND HIS COMRADES OF SORT AND SHAPE AND COLOUR AND SIGHT AND SOUND. THEY CELEBRATE ALL THAT IS UNSIGHTLY AND UNGODLY ABOUT A GOD THERE BE, FOR IT IS ONLY IN BLOOD A MAN SHALL PAINT THE BRIGHTEST BLUES AND THE BLUES OF A DEEPER BROWN OF A DEEPER RED OF A DEEPER DEEP. HE BRINGS THE TIME OF DEED AND "GO DEEP" SHE SAYS! "GO DEEP!"

Manifesto
Death she is there calmly waiting her turn A farmer's wife she rests upon the wall Her scythe still holds a piece of wheat Her hands worn from the day Death she catches some sun A mature woman she in no hurry at all She is just there No rush I can live with that

Turn Around, Turn
and we won't just survive but we'll thrive till we're five and make peace with our hearts till we're feeling alive and my puppy- eyed lover will talk to the sky and we'll drift through the night till we're free

Puppy-Eyed Lover
listening to music for airports. planes that fly in blue. still. eternal. true. colours made of love. love made of colours. child of child raised. lowered. elder of elder lowered. raised. floating. dreaming. wanting. being. wanting more. never having. having more. never wanting.

This is the way it is
There was a cloud in the sky. I looked up and it was a heart. It beat with the wind and took its time to grow. You sleep in me. Silent in your dreams. We dream together of journeys through waters and coffees and stars. The curve of your nose is like half of a heart. My nose isn't the right shape. But you dream on. Oblivious and aware. I say the words and they echo. The vibrations fall as I do. And you catch me. I am light enough. To fall like a devil into the arms of an angel. We look back down and into each other's eyes. The cloud is no longer there.
