Twaddle: Shadorma

TWADDLE

They talk of
A future, get us
Believing.
What nonsense!
For they may only surmise
As may we.

OK I Give Up

OK I GIVE UP

Who is this who lives
… and dies
Seeking the possible

To the detriment
Of an already gifted
present?

(W)rapping

(W)RAPPING

Wrapping wrapping
Wrapping wrapping

Once we’ve removed
All of this wrapping
We get to the present
We get to the present

Rapping rapping
Rapping rapping

And boogie on down
And boogie on down
To a back beat track
Till the cows come home

Keepsake

KEEPSAKE

Here am I
Memorising
A present as a past
A past as a present – My
Own ouroboros am I
A memory maker
Making more
Making do

The Wound We Wind

THE WOUND WE WIND

Round and round we wind
The wound we wound around us
Tight in our own grasp
History is history
The present we give ourselves

Lady-in-waiting

LADY-IN-WAITING

While Whence births Whither
Meanwhile the mute bystander
Awaits her future

In The Groove

IN THE GROOVE

Erase old programs
They are no longer serving
Get out of the way
