Flitting (In Summer)
The first sit at a new seat. Looking out at a new old street. Sweet golden bark and roots. Spilling out on broken pavement My heart beats.

Positive Feedback
I keep approaching this and then shirking away. Like a married couple after too long. Long live the soft, withered, dry remains of Mr Hummels. Every time I do write something it ends up being the fragment of a poem which you didn't want to read on social media. Frankly there is too much happening. … Continue reading Positive Feedback
On Aesthetics, Creativity, Social Media and the music of Lists.
Listening to Lists is something I've rarely experienced with art, not something I've not felt before, but something rare.

I recently wrote, in a bit of a fraught state, about the death of Scott Hutchinson. Like many other fans I've tried to excavate the loss of a hero by pouring over the archives of alternate projects, B-sides, interviews and the old classics.

World Cup 2018 – Day 8
Summer in the British Isles is a curious thing, you spend months wishing for it in all its glory and then spend the days inside watching football when it arrives. Or I do, anyway.
