smokejack

Conceived in an alley born in a cave raised on seaweed. Spent my early years on a roofrack. Left School at 10 caught by truant officer back at school by 11. I'm a twin of two others and I can play several instruments in my head and none with my hands. My first job was part time I painted the odd numbers on dice. I made a career out of avoiding a career.  My body is a temple often prodded by archeologists.

 

My stories

Cherry

In the park of a small town anywhere

Summer is closed Autumn was barely alive before being smothered by winter Now it’s time to survive The noise intermittent and pronounced Often appearing unannounced
Cherry

Crept out in secret

A spoon fed day stretches out Naked as an empty clothes line That’s tied to itself Left to nature’s teasing As daylight leaves early once again On winters slowest train
Cherry

I Saw Me

I Saw Me I saw me on the other side of the river I saw me in a car that just drove by I saw me in a job that eats you inside But I never once heard me asking why
Cherry

Like Mist

Like Mist We pass by like mist Floating and silent The lightest touch Becomes the longest thought I see by the colour of your eyes That we’ve been here before Images will chain themselves
