WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Alone in company

Out of place and out of time,
The razor swings unfailingly
As friendship's blade withdrawn, withdrawn.
No space to think.
Too much space to think.
Drowning in an uncertain lake,
Calm and silent as I sink.
Cemetery faces turn tombstone eyes
And I close mine.
Dreaming of a church of trees
Boughs of solitude sheltering me.
I open my mouth and let the water in.
No choking, no struggling as I leave.
