What's with today, today?

Pictures of light The shadows form a lattice on the wall The wall that glows in afternoon light Light which picks out the many-coloured bricks Bricks that stand so tall against a fearless sky Sky of a bright and everlasting blue Blue that will nonetheless fade... Fade like the shadows on the wall. Not quite a poem? A girl and a boy walked over the bridge hand-in-hand and the air around them glowed while the wind whipped past a lonely bus-stop. a fraction of the whole: fine filigree twigs against a liquid sky, brittle being in the immutable immortal.

Streetlights The insomnious glare of the streetlights censured me, at 2am on the footpath, kissing you. But we could forget, because we were young and in love and besides we were very drunk. Lunacy Into the moon garden you and I fell. I forgot which face was yours in the milky light one of us lay down and laughed at the sky.

"He wants me to elope with him to South America... Maybe Central America..." - Overheard on a bus "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" - Proverbs 27:17 "Above all, what interested me was the inarticulateness of grief, that these are two writers who are supposed to be the best at articulating anything in our society who can't articulate to each other...

Call Steve on -" - Poster outside Stanmore station "I glide in on moonlit air gaze over dew-jeweled grass to the glass-still sea. All beauty lies within the scope of my eyes. The play of light in limpid pools where dark/light intersect create new patterns ...

Ghost trees in the headlights just beyond the known circle of light. The road's a discovery at night even this old familiar road fades into the vast and fathomless dark.

So afraid In the spin of the world To fall into another's arms So hold me up Just hold me up And I'll be fine In just a little while I'll stand alone In a little while. The night is dark But I don't want to live By someone else's light So shine softly Guide me gently And I'll walk straight Until I shine In a minute I will shine. If I lose myself Where are we? So I don't need you Just stay here One minute more. I'm better off alone But stay A little longer In a minute I'll be fine.
