... 'The work I try to represent spans the invisible
space between sensory response and syntactical elaboration. The tense, tone and
meaning are often juxtaposed between space and silence – representing the place
beyond words that cannot be felt fully or measured precisely'.
Insignia Drowning
Silence.
The felt before thought
Before dilution
Before a simplification
of words.
And love?
A moist
breath fingering skin
And You close, deep perfect tense
Imperative.
And the door closes
and closes
again,
tears ceaselessly end .
Memory is anaemic.
The past a scape
a foliage of
words conceal
transitive heritable.
Now as clarity fades dust
imagination
folds recoils.
Remembrance
The smooth.
The steel-stone box.
Moments piled on moments.
I
breathe dust of absence
I well at
smiles
at glances held
hands held.
Love wrapped
in smoke filled air
bidden
loss.
You uniform framed.
You hollowed-out
tunnel-eyed into
a restless symmetry
of still warm ash
of
flayed-flesh
of
blacked-out screams.
And this
gathered paradox
certain as a
pulse
your soft mouth pressed
a corolla
a zephyr.
Explode my heart
meet this rage
this decayed regret
come alive
out of
an
opening.
