A tipping point,
words become static,
someone has turned
my receiver off.

silence, no 30

Basking in the sound of silence,
a day to just listen to sound.

easy chatter, no 28

the walls relish the
strokes of a chorus
of utterances

A white flower said hush.

exchange, no 22

The wind is hassling the leaves today.

touched, no 21

Someone is singing.
A breathing space to melt into the taste of life.

Friday 20 May 2011

head space, no 20

A cacophony of
contradictory voices.
A rumble of
questions and answers.

Time to tune into
another frequency.

Thursday 19 May 2011

words the wrong way round, no 19

Rubbing each other up the wrong way. Getting trapped in words.
Misreading the signals.

We agree to rewind time.
To explore the possibility
of
velvety words.

A voice pierces a sun induced micro sleep.
Sound of displeasure, trimmed with sarcasm.
My reverie is punctured by hard edges.

no 12

Listening - but not listening.
Making all the right noises;
the body is somewhere else.

Moist with an early
morning wake up call.
Growth tunes into it's

this house, no 10

this house hums
this house vibrates
this house growns
this house throbs
this house sighs

My body speaks
from the inside out.

"I love you, I love you, I love you,
I told you i'm a pretty polly,

look at yooou, look at yooou,
too late, too late, too late, too late,
hunky dory, hunky dory, hunky dory".

communication, no 4

Swifts skimming the roof tops.
Gathering in a staccato,
of dots and dashes.

Tuesday 3 May 2011

unintelligable, no 3

Busy on the other side of the wall.

Perhaps incarcerating a body
or clawing their way through.

Perhaps stripping wallpaper.

ticking, no 2

A clock is ticking relentlessly today,
an alarm could catch us unprepared

Sunday 1 May 2011

wind, no 1

This unrelenting steely wind,
could drive anyone insane
with its unremitting demand
to be heard

a new month a new theme for May

A new month - catching up with moments in time from my notebook after time way with family. So for the month of May, I have come up with the theme of sound. The challenge is to create words from sounds - real, imagined, transformed into the written word for the month of May.
