Nothing made sense. The sky had nursed a grudge all week and now trembled with fury.
A swarming gang of clouds massed on the horizon and stared down at the town.

The pent up hostility of the long dry was swelling like a boil and people scurried for cover as the sky spat at them. Leaves and rubbish were sucked up in whirlpools and light drained from the air.

Sensing something strange, I left my cave and looked upwards. An enormous orange mass half filled the heavens, billowing mountains of rogue dust bearing towards the town. I was the uncomprehending spectator in a TV disaster show who gets swamped as we scream at him to run. This cloud of catastrophe reared over the plains and hills, sending tendrils of dust though the trees.

Here I still am in this place where dreams meet the desert. I have only to hang onto my feeble sanity for a few more days, staring at electrons and protecting myself with solitude.

the Tempest of Today

April 23rd 2008 23:09

Hunger drained me of shame and the badlands of my being stretched to the horizon. How I felt yesterday is forgotten in the tempest of today.

Who am I to coax wild words to express the ineffable? The sullen Lovetrucker has lain for days and nights in the ditch of his own digging, peering into the open wound of his soul, staunching the blood of age and weariness. Here lies lies.

This everyday madness dances beneath the bright egg of moon that smears the land with reflected glory. I hear the screams that come from deep inside the earth, witless witness to the beauty of all and nothing. Here I sit again, tapping like the blind man I am, reading meaning into shapes and sounds, soothing grief with disbelief.

Two weeks in the desert and nothing to show for it, except dust on my shoes and a love shaped hole in my heart. This weird experience called life is but a howling truck that flashes past and slides into the night.

the Middle of Somewhere

April 18th 2008 05:01

After I crashed landed on the chitinous skin of the desert I lay mute for days. Finally the crisp wind of life blew into my lungs and I began to crawl towards the horizon of familiarity.

However, nothing was how it was and my preconceptions were swept away with the red dust of dead dreams. As all opportunity of escape receded, I thirsted for the cool waters of oblivion, burying myself in a blanket of TV channels and the forgetfulness of memories. A flick of the switch and electrons dance for us.

Teeming with flying fish, the ocean of the sky washed over me and I finally awoke to find the real world around. Gentle creatures now watch over me, as insistent thoughts of home and friends weave their protective web.

So here I am again, in the middle of somewhere, a thousand thoughts from the consolation of normality, obliged to pursue the only life I know.

The Road on My Back Again

April 7th 2008 07:01

There’s only one thing worse than not having a job and that’s having one. I’m destined to drive to the bitter sweet end, until the world’s energy runs out or mine does.

My job takes me to far flung places, often in my mind, where I remain more or less the same person, like it or not. Enough already with the film scripts but have patience with me gentle reader, for that is in part my work and a tibia in the skeleton of my obsessional obscurantism

a Vale of Tears

April 2nd 2008 02:32

A woman walks into a country pub. She tries to talk to the barmaid and the local drinkers but finds them unresponsive.

The décor, the music on the juke box and people’s clothes are all very 1970s. There are puddles of water everywhere. She picks up a soggy drink coaster emblazoned with the name Cudgegong Hotel
