It’s tempting to count the years, for they stare us directly in the face, squared and symmetrical, pedantically striped in rows of repetition so systematic, they could only be man-made, for nature doesn’t birth such repetitions, and if does, it’s only upon the rarity of something growing out of sight, something like a benign tumour of minerals locked away in the belly of the...

Every last scrap of my creativity has been absent the past little while, which happens sporadically, often due to one oh-so-funny little fact of life many of us call ‘happiness’.

Dear R,
So we all get netted from time to time on our way out to the deep, and we all struggle there, panicked and frantic, forgetful, neglectful and selfish, writhing wildly in hope of breaking free, eyes set on open space.
