Can I commit to creative writing ? Some experiments (see also Bramble and Bricolage):

From Top clockwise: Little bird monotype in terracotta; Still from glitch in Mumming is for Murder with Content Creator typed over; Reported Speech in white acrylic ink over photo of agar gel on tracing paper with leaves; Jumping the Gap typed in ‘Gabriola’ font over photo of field; Receipt in neon yellow Posca pen over photo of my children playing with silouettes at the Museum of Illusion.

Witch

If I were to cast a spell,

one good enough to sell,

one good enough to have cured AIDS,

one aired in cinemas; one I could save,

one that could make every employee feel brave and fit to burn the mockery

around every corner, up every tree.  

A burning arrow that would quicken into the heart

and glare down

the frontlines.

Just one spell; It would cost a miracle

to disrupt and coerce, the hardware

chinking

fit to burst,

the speed with which it would have to deliver-

like a soprano

shattering

with glassy splinter.
