minima-B was an idea for my poetry and art to combine. hugely influenced by haiku, hence the minima and also by basho and beefheart, hence the B. i would like to think that i had, like my great hero, captain beefheart, created, by merging various elements, something new. something a little different. unique even. i probably haven't but i am very proud of these works. here, then, are my arty farty bits.

Thursday

falling





I fell down this hole in a spiral of mewling cats.



A cacophony of stars.



Blinking, blind and brilliant.



That spun a druid curse of vapour trail cloud.



Violence dressed in flowers.



Henchmen rode silver back snails



Over slate grey tiles cracked by age.



sunlight fled the scene like butter



dripping in a pulse of liquid confusion.



My heart felt the distant emotion



of unsatisfied yearning.



A bitter taste of lost salt that plied



my tongue with the heavy scent



of musk, of diamonds, of starlight.



Heaven felt like hell but hell was where the heart was.
