[Polaroid SLR 680 – Expired Impossible Project colour film]

I took these polaroids of preserved animals at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow.

Eagerly stripping
Away emotions – Smothered
Beneath the bell jar

We talk about death
Seriocomically
Burying the hurt

freaks-2

Hushed voices discuss
The past, present & future
As the screws loosen

I was just cleaning
the inside of my oven
and fell back asleep

Hook by hook – i’m an addict
And I need my fix
bra-2-copyUnlike suffragettes
It won’t be your bra that is
Burning tomorrow

Drumming on your chest and neck
Love note wet wiped off

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   My first time using Third Man Records black and yellow monochrome film, which I’d let run out of date before use.

A horrible amalgamation of Jesus & his mum appeared in my living-room.   Looks lit he’s got heartburn tbh.

Be disgusted by yourself

Try and leave the house

Ruminate relationships
Drink too much coffee

Contemplate morality
Alone – gulping wine

The first time that I
Fucked someone I didn’t adore
Was liberating

Wash my genitals
In the sink and wait for your
Taxi to arrive

Reminders of you –
Tobacco, Booze, Arguments
And the smell of sex

Sometimes on dark days
I think of you and wonder
Who’s fucking you now?
