(YES I KNOW THE TITLE IMAGE ISN'T WORKING - I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT HTML) an argument with language - a discourse on discourse - an articulate void - a meandering towards poetics - a journey sideways - a transcription of unconscious thought - an experiment - a dream - an elaborate silence - COPROLALIA - derived from the Greek words for 'feces' and 'blabbering' - or in other words - TALKING SHIT - enjoy.

Butterfly

Happiness does not last
But for the moments I am happy
They last long enough
To fill an entire life.
I'm glad I lasted long enough
To know your cheeky smile
To see you approaching from the
Corner of my eye.

No longer wary of pain
I realise it cannot hurt me.
I inhale and make it my own.
I embrace it, carry it, find it a home.
And then there is no pain.
Only the searing brightness
Of a joy undiluted, of an
Easy looseness; fear undermined.

I once carried the darkness
And now I can leave it behind.

Shape shifter, elegant
Drifter, built of air, my shiny
Trickster; glass butterfly.
