Portrait of an adolescent.
The burden of concern
A man and his baggage.
Lion’s Head
Bang
Set sail in your little house
Across the sea of life’s unknown
And for crew take the ones you love

Set sail in your little home
Perhaps your own continent to land
But take great care with love’s provisions
or you’ll find
The sea has turned to desert
The swell to dunes of sand.
Reality plays with those who play with it
The Feral Heart (1)
Beings and bodies in time.(You are your great-grandmother)
The Keeper of the Keys.
The Intellectuals

See The Shadow making lists
So patiently, so dutifully
Of the misdemeanours big and small
Of which apparently, he’s guilty.
On the unfairness of flight
Nest (The game of love)
The bliss of being naked
To the shadows of the down
The bliss of being naked
To the warmth of the up
The bliss of being Naked.
Painting in support of the theory of the universal appreciation of beauty.
Lion’s Head

An invitation from the depths
Waiting for henry
The feminine / with so much to avenge / gathers allies to itself / with plans far more interesting, less male / than mere revenge
Extreme pianism (The art of craft)
