TITHE
burns like a dull razor
the crack in the windscreen
the knock in the valve
right where it matters
caught her eyes
the other day
sunshine in the heat
waiting for the glint
and heaviness of the
distant bus
scorch of history
still alive
still simmering
flickering like a star
in the cold moult of night
pages and pages
of mystery
dog eared and torn
thumbed and folded
like leaves gathered
in the empty verandah
want to hear the rain
wash away some pain

Spot on Esker
I really like the vision and I love the way you tell a story in your words. Very profound here.
I really like this part and this picture that came to mind as I read this
scorch of history
still alive
still simmering

short writes
in the mags I love the short stories
vignettes like magic flicker like a tease
a peep show of thoughts
in the new world of ads everything is
thrown so quickly Like a mad carnival ride
Thank You

sad for you that you think my writing has changed
And it has if its not for you thats okay
someone else enjoys this new style
and I will always change it up
always moving I cant go on writing in
the same venue forever
for I am changing each season each
year
Cheers!
