He lived his life

He lived his life

Upon his head

One day he sneezed

And now he’s dead.

words by Dom Conlon, scribbles by Dave Kirkwood.

Poem

In the heat of an argument she screamed
You irrigate me
And in the moment of absurdity
All our anger drained away.

Lung Spider

Weave
your dry web and
spin
your red thread
bitch but
hide your sleeping children.
You will not catch my breath again by hanging
there between
my body’s well-pressed sheets of skin and life.
I’ll eat your black heart
and fill my chest with immortality
before this labyrinth surrenders
its trembled soul.

Haiku #1

Rain. Broken by the landscape it falls upon.
