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.

Reflections fading

You give your diseased shiver
Each tic a moment closer
The starlings at your window
Fly away, fly away.

The mirror shows a stranger's skin
As lights flash off, electricity
Slows its busy hum
Eyes close as ones turn to zeroes.

Voices crack around your tonic immobility
Your inner strength has failed and words
That once were fanciful and wild
Grow dull as echoes fade.
