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.

Funerary

Here they are, the mothballed men
In clothes worn at weddings and never again
Black as jackdaws, white as doves 
Marking the passing of lives and loves 
A clasp of hands, a nod of heads
Formalities exchanged, nothings said
Solemn songs and sorrow expressed
Then folded away until the next
