REMINDER
I need to feel the wind sometimes
How it could uproot me
Snap
And splinter me
Disperse me, shape me, slowly
Wear me down or take me
A breeze is never enough
I need to be reminded
I need to feel how things are sculpted
I need to touch it to believe it
To run my fingertips along edges
And press or slap my palm on surfaces
To know the form and how it works the light
A look is never enough
We need to be connected
We need to feel each other

The Raven
03:48

|
The dark bird caws an aching creak, jarring
high in the branches of my twisted hazel
Light drips thickly - like warm blood or hot metal -
from the anvil angles of its beak, cuts short
breeze, divides still water, and settles
deep in the silence of the little pond beneath
It is not the tawdry light of the mind
where still limbs, still torso, still breath pull close -
become justified - where truth is vulnerable to age
Nor is it the light of secret gardens, of mists
unsettling and godless clarity eclipsing everything
An illusive bat mapping shady new worlds
by shriek and wail. The old owl's careful murders
These fears swoop in the cool of night
But this raven comes with the light. Hopping and strutting
Gently tip tap tapping. Its black glint encumbering
ornamental cherry trees, beach and oaks with ease
And it brings the white-hot light of fear. The clarity of danger
The fat weight of doubt that lingers near
The crack in peace. The spark of both death and change

Musician, author, photographer and life model. With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic
melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.
Blending all of these styles together and spewing them out in his own way. That is, when he isn't playing glam rock with Weymouth based Glass Spiders!

Gothic Chicken were from my hometown of Weymouth, and when I was a wee young lad they were my favourite band on our local scene. Its not hard to see why.
