A vision posing as memory intimates it is not
an artefact of fantasy. Reminiscing sensations
I remember the feel, of wetness burdening
my metamorphosing caterpillar me. Transitioning
within a nurturing chrysalis, suspended on the lower
branch of a tree I … CONTINUE READING »
The reality of a dream
A vision posing as memory intimates
it is not an artefact of fantasy. Reminiscing
sensations, I know my eyes were open as I flew
over endless fields of courteous wildflowers.

Virtual strangers
Channels I long refused to explore, suspicious
of authenticity prospects, auspicious contacts,
using the web of a poisonous spider, to comply
with society, posting illusions, tweeting whims.
Social circles to flaunt an image, attempting to say
something unheard, as I, … CONTINUE READING »
Ethereal lover
I look at you often, always have, enticed
and seduced more, than you’ll ever know.
Your sight overwhelmingly sooths me, lifts
my spirits up high, closer to you as I wonder,
where you end and I begin, where you meld… CONTINUE READING »
Beneath the arcade

Two dense detached bushy arches linger
to their original dark brown tone, only a … CONTINUE READING »
Pains
Pains to remind
privileges of heath.
Hard, calcified teeth
in jaws to bite off
what you can chew
to fuel the body until
shooting throbs carried
by nerves to the brain
make you plead
for tears to conquer relief.
Skeletons … CONTINUE READING »
Summer garden
Fences enclose sweaty trees
of palms, apricots and figs,
while dried-up roses suffer
heat, next to stubborn hortensia
striving, to blossom despite
anomalous murderous drought.
An infant baobab travelled
all the way from Dakar to be
planted in a pot … CONTINUE READING »
