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.

Long nights

Who are they?
The people in my dreams with their faces melting
Every one not quite right
Pinched or swollen
Laughing or staring as if to say
You know me, you are part of me
This slipping skin is yours and mine
You've seen me, caught my gorgon's gaze
I'm here, you'll never sleep alone
Alone, you'll never sleep for fear
That in the dark my hands will creep
And crawl along your night-drenched skin
And pry your eyelids wide apart
And slip my blackened fingers in
