Month: September 2026

I’m flicking the cheeks of the infinite
Dancing through the heather of forever
There’s nothing to prohibit my limit-free spirit
From changing like the neverending weather

Here, there’s always something newer than newness
It creates but it never destroys
Deeper than the light, older than time
An absolutely silent noise

I was strip searched by sunbeams
Interrogated by the breeze
Put on trial by butterfly screams
Jailed in turquoise fields

Bullied by guards in pools of shards
In a stink of echoes and heel
Broken, a token of cardboard gruel,
On a parabolic punishment wheel

Last, I was rehabilitated
Released with a clatter of geese
Into your open sesame arms
And a final, whispering peace
