a soft day






a soft day
with a dark sky
and a field of grain

the director




in his head
settings and pixels

in his hands
the framing of silence

in his heart
a constellation

in this moment
sparks fly






with thanks to Evin O'Neill writer/director and the crew of A Dry Christmas

immaculate




bring her only 
immaculate vanilla flowers

she will contain them

walk around the room

and absorb their white scent 
into her pure heart





15.7.13

one small splash






it was dark in the
grim streets of berlin 
and warmth beckoned
us in

each table scrubbed 
cleared and set
with sugar a candle stick
an orange daisy

the lit flame still,
out of the wind
and the promise of one small splash
of summer








14.7.13

Dawn






awake often
as not
at 4am

no despair
just light
and a chance to
catch it

then sleep
again
and again





11.7.13

river





river of light
trailing a power
torch of blue flame
in our wake



9.7.13

watching waiting





they are waiting, watching
and I am watching, waiting




7.7.13

that moment when she looked at me






that moment when she looked at me
the veins stretched on her belly
a pregnant gorilla
with question mark eyes








3.7.13

bliss







in a state of bliss
two half shut eyes
to my one





golden





she arrives
in the role
of flower girl
golden little flower girl




self portrait 1979





new camera
new york hair
masked 
on a winter's evening

punk 
in a dublin flat
one for the record
two for the road

light as it comes through a window





then there was 
light as it comes through a window
