Breath

A flimsy paper body, tied colourful to a snipped string,
Desperately flapping heartbeats to break...

It's so disturbed

The sound of the birds

In the trees at night

Squawking;...

Addlewort, For Confusion

Henbane, For Lust

Monkshood, for death

Alone
Laying damp
In the morning grass
Crying, for the young girl...

Do not forget

Moving daubs of pale blue
Silent, with chilled efficiency
Floating amidst stark white....

Disband, never be seen,
lurking in the...

I like to call my mind the Waters,

for I stay swimming in my thoughts.

Forever diving...
