Faded but Blank

Scour faint ideas of beauty, scratch away the fading imprints once moulded onto malleable flesh Wash away marks of value that punctuate the sentences of dying memories, break up and shatter the decaying form that our moments gave birth to Replace all that’s eroded, with something quite plain, with simple […]

Faded but Blank

Neon Tombstone

A brick wall etched with the claws of natures’ age anonymous in a forest of buildings towering red woods of steel and neon glare from fast food islands delicately dying with each new day taking its architects to the grave and standing as eternal tombstone My latest work, No Cure […]

Oh South London

Tamsin’s Day Out

Tamsin rammed her fist against the wall and immediately regretted it. The wall was made of bricks, her fist was not and she was fairly sure she’d broken a bone or two in the unequal contest between the two. But for all the Cocaine and PCP coursing through her system […]

EU Referendum – An Out from the Left

Well, either we’re getting ever closer to the EU referendum or we’re getting ever closer to the End of Days, it’s certainly one of the two. By the 23rd of June we’ll be going to the polls to vote in probably the most hysterical, xenophobic and dishonest survey of public […]

Refugees, immigrant crises, sinking boats, aid efforts, denunciations, attacks, insults, defences – we always have something to project outwards, seldom any reflection upon our own behaviour. For better or worse. — Which was […]

YouSir – Hostile Takeover EP

Just a little something I made years and years ago. Recently disappeared from the internet as the site it was on culled their archives, so here it is again on Band Camp. It was a labour of love, although possibly not much talent but I’m still happy to have it […]

Gone Done (No Cure for Shell Shock extract)

‘Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy…’ It was all he could hear. The screaming from the family in front of him had stopped, the shouted insults and encouragement from the men behind him had faded into nothing. He could still see their mouths move, all of them, almost in slow motion as […]

Prisoner of War (No Cure for Shell Shock extract)

He refused to look at me. I stared, I hated, but he refused to see. I lived through my eyes, for those long minutes. I tried to leave the rest, to let him have it so that whatever he took wouldn’t be me. I failed. For all that I placed […]
