Patagonia
Patagonia by Kate Clanchy
I said perhaps Patagonia, and pictured
a peninsula, wide enough
for a couple of ladderback chairs
to wobble on at high tide. I thought
of us in breathless cold, facing
a horizon as round as a coin, looped
in a cat’s cradle strung by gulls
from sea to sun. I planned to wait
till the waves had bored themselves
to sleep, till the last clinging barnacles,

Starry Starry Night
You took me by the hand. We ran through meadows and meadows under a sky littered with the brightest stars. Tufts of grass tickled our toes as we embraced a night so young. Tasting frosty wisps of cloud, we laughed as though the world did not owe us a living.
I believed I loved you.

Taec My Hand
He saw my hand. With knitted brows, he growled, “What’s that on your hand.” I hurriedly hid my hand under the table, fervently wishing he would drop the subject. But he didn’t. “Show it to me,” as the order had become a menacing snarl. “I said show it to me NOW!!!”
With newfound trepidation in my heart, I lifted my hand towards the light. There it...

If a tree falls and there’s no one to hear it, does it make a sound?

flight dream

stills from a little film i decided to make among the bright lights of sydney’s darling harbour.
model: jaime p.
Just damn hard to imagine that she’s (the photographer/videographer) only 16 - already a crisp talent at heart!

Incorporeality
I want you to hate me.
Because when there is darkness, there is light. When there is evil, there is good. When there is ugliness, there is beauty.
When there is hatred, there is love.
Incorporeality, that’s what they call it.

To Nurse a Cold Heart
The clean breeze before an impending downpour traces my visage with its cold, scaly fingers. I imagine the essence of raindrops seeping through the pores of my skin, into my blood, and purifying my soul of Sin and Desire. Very uplifting.
