of passage

to go from one side to another

to pass through, over or traverse, cross, esp. over water

(intransitive) to penetrate or pierce (of a pointed weapon)

Loose lips sink ships

they said during the war.

And I wonder today

what loose hips sink?


Bodies

sighs

hope

religion

life?


Loose lips sink ships

they said to contain the talk

And I wonder these days

what loose lies sink?


Nation

tribe

kin

conviction

home?

Strandloper

mind-spinner, time-slipper

looping and arcing

through

the gaps.


Strandloper

love-shifter, care-giver

crafting and bending

towards

the end.


Strandloper

life-loser, space-splicer

streaming and leaking

until

it stops.


Strandloper

hope-mender, dream-sharer

weaving and joining

through

it all.

Shapes shimmer

while

colours tremble

and boats glimmer

on the bay.


Clouds glisten

while

sunlight slivers

and seagulls arc

through sky.


I shadow

while

you wander

and space collapses

between.

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg
Through Light Cover Image_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
