have decided to collate in one place my experimental haiku-style poems, from the making of the recent saltscapes series, written May 17th to June 17th 2009...
from salt and earth,i made a dystopian green with envyand chemistry smiled, slyly…May 17th, 2009...
the ashes sighed,mourning the old flame,murmuring, if only…May 18th, 2009...
a bloodshot skyhand in hand,we returned cautiously…May 19th, 2009...
in a waterlogged eden,the birds took flighton sensing the eyes of strangers…May 20th, 2009...
through a grimy haze,all burnt golden, mouth glistening blackfaces, charred by an obese sun…May 21st, 2009...
the haze cleared, a crystalline sky,salt lakes and tidal poolsmelted, into the silvered silt…May 22nd, 2009...
a disaster areabelches blackfury inflamed...May 25th, 2009...
in ore, the chromium mirelife lies, sleepingslowly mineralised…May 29th, 2009...
the melting cavern,into saline poolsit plinked, dyspepsia…May 30th, 2009...
limestone rockssalt trails a scarin time, healed…May 31st, 2009...
underground, a stream,of consciousnesswhere perception flows…June 6th, 2009...
bruised rouge, to greyclodded clay,clawed deep, the way…June 10th, 2009...
a rockscape mouldedvestigial traces, marksthe slippery way out…June 11th, 2009...
stepping on stones, skippingthe sedimental slabs, water blackenedstriated, to the shore...June 15th, 2009...
abraded, by seawater and saltcoarse skin, furrowed then frownedat a more polished reflection...June 17th, 2009...
