Find laughter or joy

Find laughter or joy
in the gaps of daily life
make moments for play 

On a cloudy day

On a cloudy day
a distinct shade of green glows
the landscape changes 

I call you hot stuff

"I call you hot stuff
'cause you got forty degrees,"

The smell of water

A sniff of water
falling on the garden
evaporating 

Denying pleasure

worrying about money
impure puritan 

From behind a screen

shining work on light admired
holding doors open 

Unrequited art

multiple loves to indulge
got nothing but time

All Earth in one year

eight minutes before midnight
humans rise and fall 

Let's see what’s missing

stored in empty packages

begins with a blank canvas
ends with a blank look

in the smallest of gestures
performing calm thoughts

being self-doubt and wonder
trying to fit in

we have kept our innocence
hiding irony

keeping boundaries fluid

smash the system to begin
build them all again

a healthy framework of ‘yes’
collaboration

does my message come across
crowded mediums

all the tabs in my browser
strain under your voice

My words will travel
a universal donor
type-0 negative

constitute our consciousness
we're never alone 

Records like diaries

document performances
dream journals these days 

Brightness falls from air

Brightness falls from air
experiments with lightning
forming through vapours 

Animal spirits

complete material souls
conducted through dreams 

Circumfluent clouds

ethereal amber glow
led by phosphor light 

Electricity

so incapable of rest
brief hanging ribbons 

Drawn up by the sun

Drawn up by the sun
formed from moist exhalations
evaporations

following a fluent route
hold onto your breath

shopping lists and newsletters
flammable remains

something was and now isn't

mildest summer forever 
hiding in forecast
