A Clarity of Focus

The greatest Muse
I’m heaviest for
Time hasn’t sullied
Her inspiration
or wrinkled her beauty
Her city recharges
galvanised to work
A trickle of words
to shape with care
For my Muse
I demand a perfection
matching hers

Pain travels
Her home, her presence
an antidote
that needs no liquor
to wash it down
The hearts depth
cannot convey
the weather of change
Pain creeps back
during my absence
I work towards
stronger medication

In A World Of Blue

The Pink Room’s hypnotic like an old noir film.

Sycamore Trees invites ghosts to join me for a walk through fog filled streets.

Big sister

Its good to keep busy. Got briefed on one job and doing a pilot for another which keeps me on my toes. With luck I’ll be working till Sunday and everyday next week. I really need to see about that pay rise.

Got some pieces in the works, ones completed in my head just not in the right order and words for the second one are slow in coming. Plus about 4 others on the go, I’ll get something finished soon.

Poking around I’m happy to see rent looks significantly cheaper up north and a new friend from my second trip will be looking to move in november aswell.

Is the Giant related to the Dwarf?

The gold box cover of Twin Peaks had been staring at me for close to a year I think, but I could never bring myself to watch it. When something reminds you of a time you’d like to move away from you tend to avoid things. Getting home from another amazing trip up north I saw the box and thoughts of avoidance just seemed silly.

I’ve caught up to where I left off and I like the show, but I can see why it got the axe. Do people really care about Nadine the middle aged eye patch wearing teenager with super strength? Andy Vs Dick for the love of a Moran? C’mon the murders been wrapped up so compell me dammit!

I has it

The photos make it harder to swallow that I’m in Melbourne. Set backs to August have arisen in the form of fines, lack of work (for this week anyway) and an urgent phone bill. I’m going to have to put in for some long hours and big weeks and probably stop doing a couple of filthy things I enjoy so I can be in Bane for the Queensland Poetry Festival, see that someone special and plan for the big end of year jump.

There is nothing I’ve ever wanted as badly as this and I’m up for it. I’m going to pursue this clean slate, close a book and then put more focus into writing than I ever have.  Eat it setbacks I’m fucken invincible.

Bad ayass

Had some really awesome adventures and have some pretty damn good stories to tell. Instead of writing it all down I’m doing a piece about everything that happened.

I have decided on another visit in August (Queensland Poetry Festival) then an eventual move in November. I’ll be working alot to save money and not doing much in the way of public appearences, much like I did between my first and second vists to Bane.

Lost in happy

The trip has been everything I’ve needed. I wanted distance, no distractions and to be alone all of which I’ve gotten. I’m sociable only when I want to be and I dont feel obligated to talk or go out.

Went on the CityCat along the Brisbane river with rain in my face and and tie whipping over my shoulder, it was exhilarating and I loved seeing the city from another angle. The ticket price was cheaper than a train ride from my house to work.

Been wandering through the city and I’m glad the weather accomodates my clothing style this time out.

Saw someone very special to me on Monday and it was great I’m very comfortable talking to her about anything and everything, it was kept pretty light though. Looking forward to Thursday

Karaoke night tonight and I have a rep to maintain!

Back in ‘Bane

Ahh to be back finally! And to think everything is exactly where I left it. Had a lazy weekend to catch up on sleep and drink with some familiar faces and some new ones. Did the Sunday poker thing and it was a blast even if I didn’t get anywhere. Already the town has helped me overcome some walls with some of the pieces I’m working on and I’ve had the inspiration for another one.

No distractions, I love it.
