They say there’s a cloud of chemicals travelling to the Milky Way. In thirty million years it will hit us. I say ‘us’, but by then there will be no traces of ‘us’ left. Everything we ever were and everything we hoped to be will have long been erased. As a species, we will… Read more

  Angels and butterflies that crumble beneath my touch. All those nights where the bodies crushed me- where so many faces did their best to make me just like them. So many women I wanted to be with, and so many trees that felt the warmth of my piss as I made the drunken journey back… Read more

  For her, I swim to the ocean floor and hunt puffa fish. Rising to the surface, I place them at her feet then suck the baby toe on her left foot. On Mount Olympus, we make love while the stench of whale guts haunts all those who get too close. She tastes of oranges,… Read more

To see her naked on my bed wouldn’t be enough. There’s a journey just waiting to be taken, but there’s no destination in… Read more

  Sleep takes me when the sun rises, and drops me off when it sets. Jack Daniels and a cigarette to toast the discovery of a new planet, only it’s not new, and it might not even be a planet, so I go for a walk to clear my head. It’s cold. The cemetery is… Read more

  When the moment takes me, I walk the streets late at night when no one else is around. It’s a kind of perfection, as the empty souls are all asleep and for a while, I’m free. But I guess I’m just an empty soul too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be wandering about when I should… Read more
