amusements 1
Listening to stars
That cold whispered voice gives chills
You fade into dreams

Love automatic
Be the whore you once promised
Let ambition die

amusements 3
Behind a smoke screen
Singing the praises of wolves
When control feels lost

Find a neutral place
Unafraid of sentiment
Pouring hearts down drainscamera club (2)
A desire to shock
Turns the focus to my words
And not my actions

Watch me – I am shook
Having become outlandish
The bathroom floor calls

Some looners pop balloons while others protect them. C’Est la Vie innit.

An awkward escape
Squeezed from a tightening grip

Floating through the city sky
Looner goes lunar

Artlessly grasp hope

I took these Polaroids of a friend light painting with fire at the derelict Botanic Gardens Railway platform recently.   My first time using Third Man Records black and yellow monochrome film, which I’d let run out of date before use.
