some dreams

I think about making tea in your kitchen without pants
I think about being the thing that delights you

faciliating reckless desires

I know what it feels like
to have my heart pounding out my chest
to be so afraid

to be so thrilled
but to know with usurping certainty
that this is what I need to seek
to give to myself
and so i do.

intimacy

comfort, warmth and unwravelling hearts.

In that intimate space i yearn for, 

of sharing and vulnerability,

that we grow from. 

In friendship and in ourselves.

Eyes alight, candid gestures.

summer #1

summer is for that unique Australian beauty

for the sound of galahs - a shrieking skirling cacophany

for a special rough weathered beauty.

a soil rich beauty

a relentless heat beauty

What Dorothy Taught Me

Write like liquor

Short and thick

Dense and cloying

Terse and teasing

Toxic and intoxicating

Sporadic and addictive

Write physically.

from your stomach, from your legs

mosaic

Sometimes i cant tell the difference

Between ambivalence and inspiration

I cant tell if a muse is fabricated in me by the desperate hand of my soul

Or if it presents itself to me

Fleeting

In rudimentary form

For my cultivation

And i miss it

Because i fear fabrication

What do I clutch at with thieving fingers?

What of this inexhaustable resource

is worth stealing? 

Do I tessellate the pieces together

those fickle fragments 

with those vivid and visceral diapasons

like piece-meal 

like kids craft cut outs

an array of adhesives

for my mosaic

but what do I do with the spaces?

sex-lexiography

Pleasure

They spell it with a capital “O”

But they are wrong.

it is every vowel

Its every sound we make

Its satiation through exploration

Lust

They spell it S-E-X

But it is the texture of your gaze

The shape of the space we make

Attraction

They spell it G-E-N-D-E-R

But it is engaging

It is the part of me that swells

It is the distance between us

Its that i recognise something in you that i am drawn to

Competence

Its measured in centremetres of flesh

In millimetres of liquid

But it is connection. And translation.
