Napowrimo 2020 Day 3 - Peas
03 Apr 2020 poetry
It’s still magic.
The emergence
of green from
damp soil, adder
head coiling up,
before unfurling,
saluting the sun.
NaPowriMo 2020 Day 2 - 'I only went to a psychic for an ego boost'
02 Apr 2020 poetry
Lost to the comfort of burnt sage
and bergamot, I do not remember
entering or paying so I arrive
to myself already sat in silks.
Free Books
01 Apr 2020 publications
I've made a couple of my self published books free to download.
There's Amber Stars: One Night of Stories, which is my first book of linked stories and Remain Vigilant which is two one act plays in the same world. Lost in April Fog, my Napowrimo poems from 2018 was free before but I've offered direct links and removed the need to go through the shop. All are in PDF, Mobi (for Kindles) and ePub (for everything else).
All the books have now been changed to Creative Commons licences so feel free to distribute and remix...
NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 1- The People
01 Apr 2020 poetry
We the spin, the shimmer.
We the sway, the light,
the contagion and the cure
We the anointing and
sometimes the penance.
The Oracle
31 Mar 2020 poetry
Forgive me, I have lost my lexicon
of the future. Now I search the tangled
entropy of brambles and bindweed.
Nothing useful emerges, only woodlice.

I have a fancy new profile picture thanks to Sam Cavender and his restored Mayima. Oooh medium format expired film. It makes me want to dig out my film cameras again
