Music
Those raindrops singing,
Pattering the cobblestones,
My own orchestra.
Rehellek Nai
I had thought
That I ought
To be falling in love.
A niggling thought
In my brain
Is driving me insane.
Thinking
Boiling bones,
Soup and bread.
Writhing poems,
Pencil lead.
Porcupine
Pierce my heart.
Valentines,
My folk art.
Darkest mornings,
Counting minutes.
Non-conforming,
Dawn exhibits.
Vintage vinyl,
Words of scriptures.
Quarter-final,
Moving pictures.
