Unpublished pieces
She walked across the floor, upbeat lady in solemn clothes.
I lost innocence with her. Fragmented pictures of colours
long since dissolved into ambiguities of grey

this growth that festers powerfully upon
my limping brain.

"Leave me alone" she says
"I am yours but you are not mine"
