Axiom

We are walking, talking

Laughing heartfelts

Tripping over wise words and

Wondering about our places.

Seneca

You've got a point there.

Tell you what

I'll trade you some bottles and pouches

To lighten my load

In return for your least favourite cane

And some piece of everyone's mind

So I can tell what's mine.

Misdirection

My Love,

What if this whole time,

I were really an owl,

Picking mice out from between,

The old church stones.

Would you find me then?

Jubilee, I Gave You Away

Flooded,

They broke in upon,

Our quiet campaign.

All rights and liberties,

Flushing your face so red.

Nigel

But - I asked him,

What about the house lights?

Will it always be just me?

He leaned across,

I made up constellations,

For the freckles on his forearm,

"If there's no one else,

Then we'll go by moonlight my friend."

An Inkling

We'll find out

That it was all just like

Plucking at the grass

Being & waiting to be.

Press Pass

We mentioned Newt

And probably inhaled

So many neon signs missing letters.

Big Sky

I remember

It was spiritual

I felt swallowed, scared

I felt it was best

To put one foot in front of the other

My place in this universe

So loveably small

Those two words meeting in my mind

For the first time

Like separated twins

Or Bartimaeus' first glimpses of Jericho

And I saw you.

Inundated, I fell away for a while.

Mesa

Settled down

In wanting red dust

He leaned on his shovel like some

Unwelcome scepter

The fence stretching back

Miles now

But they've had no reason to put the kettle on

Since the well ran dry.

That's your education,

When the well runs dry.
