SKY DIVER

imagine jumping off
your chosen high rise

& falling you notice how awesome it is
inside the exhilaration of free fall

& you think this is it

this is what was missing all along

& you realise too late

with regret & sorrow & love

surrounding you 

like cartoon birds

that you should have been 

a sky diver all along

FEEDING LIONS

how to put the day to sleep
when
youre
stretched
out
TENSE
on the cool dusk sheets
WIRED 

with
the knowledge of the Big Wrong
and
the
Escape of Tumbling Time ?

i feel
i've failed 
to fill
another waking cycle
with
Massive and Awesome Creation



i've let another day
back-up
like
fat in the drain

and
now i hide still and quiet
hoping
the
lions
wont find me
and
eat up
my
soft ambition
