Eddie, he polished his boots, he put on his suit, he tied his tie. He took his gun, he took his gun and he prepared to die, and then he combed his hair and for a second, he closed his eyes, and then, he took a deep breath, and reopened them and headed out into…

Echoes
Echoes and calls, echoes in the halls, echoes and calls, footsteps and banging on the walls, echoes and calls, no peace but a riot of sound disturbing all around, echoes and calls, bloodstained walls, bloodstained walls and dirt and a dirty shirt, shouting from the basement, pipes echoing with noise, the sound of water, the…
Echoes and shouts
Echoes and shouts, calling from the beach, towards the sea, echoes and shouts, and screams and shouts, and cries, and a swimmer in trouble, and upon the beach frantic activity. Frantic activity, and people racing towards the sea, and out there in the waves, there is a swimmer, caught unawares, by how powerful the sea…
Echoes and calls
Echoes and calls across the valley they rise and fall, distant voices barely recognisable, echoes and calls to someone seemingly miles away, echoes and calls that lift into the air and that carry everywhere, echoes and calls, some happy, some sad in a dream I had of a dystopian air, echoes and calls, meaningless but…
Eating fruit in the sun
Eating fruit in the sun, sat upon a rock, waiting for an earthquake, waiting for a shock. Waiting for you, waiting for a time that hurries along, waiting happily thinking of you, waiting for you and your kisses, waiting to throw my arms around you, waiting peacefully and calmly in a day so tranquil, for…

Early signs of the ignorant and the intolerant, a rock through a window, some graffiti upon the bus shelter, a disgruntled council worker, an alcoholic stumbling in the supermarket aisles, yes, early signs of the times, a new day dawning, a homeless person awaking in the doorway, a drug addict stealing someone's wallet, a man…
Dying
Dying embers of the fire, tired eyes, tired mind, tired heart, sick of caring about myself, sick of trying, sick of the day that the sickness did start, sick of the light, wanting the eternal night sick of being sick, sick of cancer, sick of dying, dying embers of the fire, rising up, tired eyes,…
Dust
Dust, dust and bones, alone, in the desert far from home, beside a cactus, in the hot hot sun, taking it all in, and drinking water whilst taking in the beauty, and the blue sky, with nothing on my mind, but life and death, and death, it comes to us all in time, and I…
Dust bowl
A hurricane in the distance, a dust bowl, a house on the hill, and cherries in a bowl, the sun up in the sky, and the wind and the breeze, and the trees, with the sunlight filtering through, a dust bowl, so, here is to staying indoors, whilst the wind does prowl, here is to…
