Late night gridlock took a while to dissipate. Not that he gave a fuck. Remnants of rush hour traffic from 23:00 until 01:00 hours rolled noisily over the recently repaired Talon’s Reach, ignorant of Jack’s suffering. His Ducati stood nearby on its parking tripod, twenty yards back, on the eastern sidewalk. Colonel Cole had relinquished […]
I taste like alcohol suffused teeth Simmering in misery Signifying the end Of love Gone Gone Thankfully Never to return
I left my old work thermos under the hob, in your kitchen. The same one I used to cook your meals in – in time for your return from work at weekends. The same kitchen we made six Christmas dinners in, together. The same place I used to mix your Gin and tonic for you. […]
The death of Us Rendered me a mediocre Video game character. Inhabiting an alternate reality Full of bugs and glitches Prohibitively difficult So there’s no fun Perma-blue, once lovable thing, so armed with sharp-bladed words and a gushing disembowelment ritual suicide upon an altar you once fooled me was cherished.

Nothing you can say Nothing you can do Nothing halts this pain I know the truth. Suffocate awake For the daily walk on a bed of nails, I wait For my heroin to return. I miss her purple hair I miss the way she tastes when my flowery words lubricate her unquenchable void Mommy’s abandonment […]
The furrow my dead brother so often spoke of, before he left me alone to cope, finally has me firmly entrenched. Unable to see over the sides, let alone claw a way out. Shattered. Like dropped crockery. And the jagged delicate pieces won’t fit together. I want to cease. To die, the end, to blink […]
A lone motorcycle pulled slowly into a tree-lined lane and stopped. The Suzuki lowered its kickstand, aerohood opening briefly to release a black clad figure instantly darting forward. The woman sprinted like a newborn shadow into a dense Willow tree line, surrounding Hotel Castle Osaka. Beyond the Willows, some fifty yards, stood a twenty-foot-high […]
