69

Sudden smoky sky

Ashen specks gently falling

White upon the earth

30.1.15

68

Waiting for the snow

Clear blue skies make no promise

Maybe tomorrow

29.1.15

67

Corrupted visage;

A corpse propped up in its seat

Surveys the abyss

27.1.15

After Francis Bacon's Portrait of a Cardinal I

66

Blue-black rictus screams

Silenced behind panes of glass

Power's transience

26.1.15
After Francis Bacon's Head VI

65

Slick-covered, dripping

Face unformed, leaden arms reach

Smothered, wretched plea

23.1.15

64

Close, Stygian murk

Mired, knee-deep, in jet morass

My own oubliette

22.1.15

63

The shell is tapped, cracked

Removed, deliberately

Fragile core exposed

21.1.15

62

Glittering water

Runs too quickly through fingers.

Cupped hand, trembling pool

19.1.15

61

Let those moments go

What use is reliving them?

I tighten my grip

19.1.15

60

A first turn temple

Priests for dig upgrades, earth 1

Commence dwelling spam!

16.1.15

59

A scampering wind

Plucks the brittle leaf and flees

Who will remember?

16.1.15

58

Behind glass and glass

Lit, beyond reach; dark, closed up

Mute indifference

13-14.1.15

57

Half-moon suspended

The beauty of gravity

An eternal dance

13.1.15

56

Worm crossing the road

Some close calls and then, as feared

Obliteration

13.1.15

55

Dark, ashen pallor

Worn out, brutal ugliness

A city's death mask

11.1.15

54

The storm approaches

Cutting wind, can’t keep hands warm

Empty trees tremble

9.1.15

53

Extractor fan drone

Wind blowing, changing the pitch

Sleep in abeyance

8.1.15

52

Heaven’s halls aflame

Blaze with fierce intensity

Burned after-image

06.01.15

51

Reactivated,

Returning to the surface

And the muted light

5.1.15

50

Old fears, guilt, regrets

Mistakes perhaps repeated

Is there no escape?

4.1.15

49

The old railway line

Choked with weeds, those twisted trees

Grasping claws of night

4.1.15

48

Winter gloom deepens

Faintest light above snuffed out

Only silence now

4.1.15

47

Has the day now passed?

Our sun hidden, the sky now

Only darker grey

4.1.15
