Shine On
Don't ever let anyone convince you
to not share your soul songs.
The weaponized words
they hurl towards you,
are formed from
their own insecurities.
You get one shot,
in this time and space,
accompanied by
crabs in a bucket,
and a host of other cliches,
determined to control
your creative mind.
Give in to dark energy,
and you become it.
Rise above it.

The Deepest Caverns Are In The Heart
Some descend far under the sea

There's no bottom to that chasm
Its a death zone...

It's only a black ...

and swallow everything whole
doubting everything
questioning everything
criticising everything
until my mind had had its fill
and I rose back up from the abyss
and into the light
my throat still cut
but my life intact.

The Goddess is Dancing
Many years ago I was intrigued by the appearance on Perth roads of bumper stickers displaying the enigmatic statement that "The Goddess is Dancing". I had no idea what this advertising campaign was all about, so I put together my own preferred explanation.

past unwatered acacias
where the wh...
