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.

Lapse of Time

Thinking back to first schools and friendships
Lives left behind.
First crushes that seemed so important,
Now barely remembered.
Still images, moments,
Voices but no words.
Impressions frozen, faces never growing older.
Mine is the only mirror in the attic,
Monstrously aging while my mind plays at youth.

Those friends are out there somewhere,
With families, careers, sad lives and happy lives,
Every one invisible to me
But forever bound by the thread of shared experience
And fading memories.
