Little doses everywhere,
Invisible clouds.

Dancing in your underwear.

Play-Doh transports me,
Reminds me of happy days
Of little models.
I had forgotten, though, the
Mixed colours and dried-up rot.

Play-Doh smell on hands,
On laptop as well, I’m sure.
Working from table.

Think to past, future,
Possibilities for us.
Play-Doh smell on hands.

The one they call the Truth Speaker.
Her words will bind you.

Drunk on the look in your eyes.

Acute pain gives way
To the sweet release of blood.
A vampire’s kiss.

Sun bursts through my heart,
Body turns to dust, crumbles.
A vampire's death.

Happy tears fall from my eyes,
When my music plays.

In a football crowd I know
I belong, am one.

Misfiled knowingly in

Where did they all go?
How did we filter away?
Thinking of schoolmates.

In the centre of your palm
Precious as a pearl
