Fertile precincts of toxic air, colourless
And unstable create, inexistent boundaries
Of oxygen raped, by electrical discharges
Ultraviolet caress. An atom more turns
The unscented scent into a pungent odour,
Pale blue molecules high temperatures detonate
While low ones, solidify … CONTINUE READING »
Remembering Zhuangzi
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.

Beneath the arcade
It only happens on stormy days,

The garbage bins are three hundred
metres away, yet paraphernalia is ridded… CONTINUE READING »
Unfollowing
Following the unfollowed
to follow fellow folks, felons
as I, guilty for spending life
hunting followers who may scent
flourishing fables made of fabric
filled with formidable potential.
Zestfully fleeing mafficking faces
futzing in mass lobotomy, quaffing
media fraudulent sloppiness,… CONTINUE READING »
Globalisation epilogue
Humankind, roaming tribes,
in search of food and natural
resources to live, procreate,
ensure survival of the species.

to its likes, it fancies the unknown,
mingling, giving birth to new heirs,
original unparalleled half-castes.

Polished shoes
The bold cupola at his summit reflects
neon lights from bulbs above, crowned
by precious thin silver hair, barely cascading
over a wide and wrinkled forehead.
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 »
