  • New Moon in April and a Heart Shaped Box

    New Moon 5 April 2019
    introducing my newest Model: Ella Turner
    and featuring the poem Dreamland by Royal Young with Photographs by Michelle Gemma

    I want to enjoy the sunrise
    While we still have them
    Your quiet little town
    Won’t be safe much longer

    A stolen heart is never truly
    Yours
    A boot to get what you want

    Imperfection is beauty
    Torrid
    Tortured
    Terrible glances like lances

    Give me open terrain
    If I could climb this fire escape
    To the future I would

    My soul is following
    The train’s whistle
    My body lays next to
    A sleeping dog

    The dog dreams
    Shivers in sleep
    We’re both running
    Still

  • “This Night Has Opened My Eyes”

    “The dream has gone
    But the baby is real
    Oh you did a good thing
    She could have been a poet
    Or, she could have been a fool
    Oh you did a bad thing
    And I’m not happy
    And I’m not sad”

    —-the Smiths, “This Night has Opened my Eyes”, from Hatful of Hollow, a compilation album released 12 November 1984, Rough Trade.
